	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/12/2023 answer text <p>The Department works with both local highway authorities and National Highways to assess road surface condition across England annually. Local highway authorities undertake road condition surveys on their classified road networks, and their surveys identify road defects and provide an overall score of road condition. The latest data was published on gov.uk on 23 November 2023:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/road-conditions-in-england-to-march-2023" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/road-conditions-in-england-to-march-2023</a></p><p> </p><p>It is up to local highway authorities to determine how best to fulfil their statutory duty under Section 41 of the Highways Act 1980, taking into account local circumstances and priorities. This includes decisions on the equipment, techniques, and materials used as part of their maintenance activities. The Department advocates a risk-based, whole-lifecycle-asset management approach that considers all parts of the highway network, and recommends that authorities follow the best practice guidance set out in the Well-managed Highway Infrastructure Code of Practice which is available via the website of the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hexham answering member printed Guy Opperman question first answered 12/12/2023 16:23:41 answering member 4142 label Biography information for Guy Opperman
