I am writing to request information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
Please provide the following information broken down by calendar year for 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and for the period 1 January 2026 to 31 January 2026 (or the most recent complete month for which figures are available):
1. The total annual spend on repairs to pavements and footways, including repairs to potholes and other surface defects on pavements and footways, within your local authority area.
2. The total annual spend on public realm repairs relating to paved or hard surface areas in parks and other public open spaces (for example: patios, paved seating areas, plazas, hard landscaped play or recreation areas, and similar).
3. The total annual spend on repairs to potholes and other surface defects on carriageways (road surfaces used by vehicles) within your local authority area, over the same period.
4. If available, a breakdown of the spend in items (1), (2) and (3) by type of repair or work carried out (for example: routine/reactive repairs, programmed resurfacing or replacement schemes, trip hazard works, accessibility improvements, and similar categories used in your asset management or finance systems).
For the purposes of this request, I am interested only in works to paved or hard surface areas (for example slabs, blocks, asphalt, setts and similar), not soft landscaping. This includes both footways/pavements and carriageways as defined in your highways policies.
