Roads Maintenance Division

The Road Maintenance Division is responsible for maintaining the City's road network to the best possible standard within the present available resources. The work involves the maintenance, repair and/or renewal of the various road and footpath surfaces. An extensive programme of road resurfacing and footpath renewal and repair is carried out each year.

The Division maintains road drainage by cleaning road gullies, clearing and repairing blocked pipes etc. The maintenance and replacement of manholes and gratings is also carried out under this function. Weed control on roads and footpaths is also carried out. Other activities carried out by the Division include maintenance of bridges and quay walls together with other walls, barriers and railings. A certain number of minor road realignments and setbacks are undertaken each year depending on the availability of funding. The extent of works possible in any year depends on funds made available from Government grants, revenue from rates and payments received from outside agencies in respect of footpath alternations and reinstatement of openings. Inadequate funding over many years has led to large sections of roads and footpaths being under maintained with consequential effect on public liability.

The Roads Maintenance Division operates from two local depots, Roads North (including Centre) at Cattle Market Avenue, Shandon Street and Roads South at Ravenscourt, Skehard Road.
