CHESHIRE West and Chester Council will be taking on responsibility for pothole maintenance, hedge cutting and road sweeping services once more, following a shake-up of its Highways Services. The authority has agreed to end its contract with Ringway Infrastructure Services Limited, which currently carries out maintenance operations on the borough s road network, at the conclusion of the 10-year term in October 2022. It follows a full review and public consultation held last year. Councillor Karen Shore, the council’s deputy leader and Cabinet Member for Environment, Highways and Strategic Transport, said: “We wanted to find out views on how our service should be delivered when our current highways contract ends in October 2022. All feedback was carefully considered and influenced our preferred service delivery model, which has now been brought to cabinet.
