Highways House basks in the Autumn sun.

This late summer gave us an excellent opportunity to photograph some of the team. We are using the picture as part of an award entry for partnership working.

Bewdley Hill, Kidderminster.

We are currently carrying out a resurfacing scheme at night in Kidderminster. The way the site has been set up is an excellent demonstration of the Worcestershire Highways team working together to produce standards that set us well above the industry norm.

There was excellent use of floodlights, safety zones and life lines, the Worcestershire developed method of pedestrian management was working well, and all the pedestrian crossing points were controlled. It is also worth noting that everyone on site was wearing head torches and banksmen were using traffic light torches as set down in our Worcestershire Highways night working risk assessmernt.

Worcestershire Asphalt Production Update.

We have now been producing asphalt using our depot based asphalt recycler at Stanford for three weeks.Juan and Stewart have now perfected a blend of recycled product that makes an excellent 20mm base course for use in footways.


We are now also producing a 6mm product for ART pothole use.


Pictures show John Churchill and Rob Littleton discussing the quality of the 6mm and Juan checking the temperature of the product.
