An average of 115 local streets are “falling into decline” each year, the city council’s highways asset manager said.
The council categorises all of Leeds’ roads as being either red, dark amber, light amber or green, depending on their condition, with red indicating those in the worst state and green indicating the healthiest.Mr Moore told a group of city councillors that around 24km worth of road was being reclassified downwards every 12 months.“We want to get to a position where we have a steady state rather than a managed decline.
In many cases, this means prioritising repairs to amber roads, which are in danger of deteriorating further without work, over roads which are already in the red zone.He explained: “We’re carrying out more preventative works than we are refurbishment.
