<p>This information is not held. In England local highway authorities have a duty
under Section 41 of the Highways Act 1980 to maintain the highway network in their
area, including footways. Further information and best practice on the Well-managed
Highway infrastructure Code of Practice is available from the UK Roads Leadership
Group. Based on previous research, the Department estimates that on average local
highway authorities spend around 9% of their highway maintenance budgets on maintaining
footways.</p>
