Milestone Infrastructure is our new highways contractor
Wednesday, 5 April 2023
Milestone Infrastructure began work as our new highways contractor on 1 April 2023.
The seven-year contract includes maintaining and improving roads, pavements, rights of way, drainage, bridges, and other structures. In addition, the project team will also provide design, traffic management, winter services, street lighting services and emergency response services such as handling flooding and removing fallen trees.
Freezing conditions combined with prolonged periods of heavy rain have led to an increase in potholes which residents have been helpfully reporting to us. As part of the new contract, Milestone Infrastructure’s primary focus will be on fixing these potholes and we apologise in advance for any delays residents may experience whilst the teams undertake this work.
Due to the continued cold and wet weather conditions, further potholes are likely to appear, so residents who notice a new pothole on the Central Bedfordshire road network are asked to report them online, so we can investigate them further and repair them if appropriate. Any potholes already reported do not need to be reported again.
In an emergency, dangerous potholes or other safety-related issues can be reported to our 24-hour emergency team on 0300 300 8049.
