The council has released a big list of roads in West Berkshire which are earmarked for repair.
There are around 150 roads which will get anything from a pot hole fixed to resurfacing.
The council predicts a “transport shift away from single use car journeys”, which may, in some areas, decrease demand on West Berkshire’s roads.
The council says it will monitor this shift and, where necessary, will influence changes that promote environmental sustainability.
There are approximately 1,303km of public highway in West Berkshire - more than Reading and Wokingham combined - comprising 117km of “A” roads, 75km of “B” roads, 399km of “C” roads and 712km of unclassified “U” roads.
Consequently, says the council, maintenance of the road network presents “real challenges”.
The road maintenance approach adopted by the council has been to tackle stretches of road that in terms of their condition, are showing as ‘amber’ to bring them back to ‘green’.
‘Red’ sections are maintained in a safe condition and, subject to their size, are either repaired under a separate patching programme or are included as a larger highway improvement project.
