I am writing to request information under the Freedom of Information Act relating to a road your authority is responsible for maintaining. Specifically, my query relates to Pound Lane, Woodley. Please can you send me:

1. A copy of your current road maintenance policy relating to that road. Please send me the full policy, but this should include details of the intended frequency of road safety inspections, how these inspections should be conducted and the maximum time between identification of a defect and repairs being carried out.
See attached file. Wokingham Borough’s road maintenance policy is described in the Wokingham Highway Inspection Policy (WHIP).

The carriageway of Pound Lane, Sonning, is inspected by vehicle at a frequency of every 3 months.
The footway of Pound Lane, Sonning, is inspected on foot at a frequency of every 6 months.

2. A copy of the road repair history for that road over the past year. Again, please send me the full road repair history, but this should include:
• Dates of all safety inspections between 16th January 2022 and 16th March 2022
• Details of how safety inspections were undertaken (walked or driven, speed of inspection vehicle etc)
• Details of all carriageway defects identified, with description, date and time
• Details of how the authority handled these defects, what repairs were undertaken and the time between the identification of each defect and a repair being carried out.
A copy of the inspection and repair history for Pound Lane, Sonning, is attached. Please note that no safety inspection was done in the specified period of between 16th January 2022 and 16th March 2022, and therefore the inspection closest in date (30/03/2022) has been included.
