Looking after Cornwall's roads
Cornwall Council is responsible for maintaining Cornwall's roads, bridges, drains and street lights.
Our aim is to keep the network safe and in good condition, helping people travel around Cornwall safely and reliably every day.
Why we share these reports
Each year we publish a report about our roads online. It is called the Transparency Report.
The report shows:
where money has been spent
what work has been done
how roads and pavements are looking
what work we plan to do next
how we are trying to stop roads getting worse
how we check that we are doing a good job
The Department for Transport asks councils across England to publish this information.

Fixing roads before they fail
It is often better and cheaper to fix roads early rather than wait until they are badly damaged.
This helps us:
reduce potholes
make roads last longer
spend money wisely
keep people moving
reduce disruption
Our aim is to keep Cornwall's roads safe and in good condition for everyone.
