Road and pavement programme of works
The programme is based on inspections carried out through the year and suggestions made by local Councillors and Parish Councils.
2019 - 2020 works programme
We then evaluate these requests against:
- condition of the road
- benefits to residents and local economy
- carrying out works that ease the burden of small scale repair works facing the Council
In addition to these repairs, we also:
- maintain highways bridges
- carry out works to improve highway drainage and prevent flooding
- carry out street lighting improvements
The outline programme of maintenance schemes for this year can be viewed below:

Local transport capital funding 2018/19
In November 2018 the DfT announced that further local transport capital funding was to be made available to local authorities to spend on highway maintenance. Bedford Borough council received a further £1,324,000 of funding, on top of that received earlier in the year, providing a total funding stream of £1,704,000.
This additional funding has been spent by the council to complete essential pothole repairs across the network and to carry out full scale resurfacing at several locations within the Borough, including:
- Orchard Street in Kempston
- the A6 at Milton Ernest
- the B645 at Lower Dean
- Woburn Road in Kempston
- the A603 at Cople
