Will the Welsh Government confirm whether local road condition data will be published in the future, following the last collection under the public accountability measures in 2019?
Data, on Local Authority Road conditions, was previously collected and published as a part of Public Accountability Measures lead by Data Cymru on behalf of the Welsh Local Government Association. This data was also previously published within the Welsh Government’s annual statistical publication on road conditions (up to 2018/19). Public Accountability Measures are no longer in place.
The local authority managed roads ‘road condition survey’ by Data Cymru, SCANNER survey was not conducted in 2020 as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, so it was not possible to publish any data in the 2020/21 Welsh Government road lengths and condition report.
