The Service We Provide

Streetpride is responsible for maintaining highway structures, such as road bridges, footbridges, subways, culverts and retaining walls on the public highway and on definitive footpaths. Definitive footpaths are those footpaths shown on the This is an internal link icon. Definitive Map.

In order to keep highway structures in a well maintained and safe condition, we have a team of engineers who carry out regular inspections and ensure that action is taken about:-

structural defects
graffiti on subways
dangerous retaining walls

The Service You Can Expect

We aim to ensure that highway users can be assured of their safety when crossing rivers, railways and other obstacles to the highway, that highway structures are well maintained and that their appearance is in keeping with their surroundings.

The Service We Achieve

All bridges and subways receive a structural inspection at least every two years.

Subways are regularly cleaned of graffiti and, in the case of reported offensive graffiti, within 24 hours of notification on working days.
