Clean & clear footpaths
Road and pavement problem reporting
We aim to make travelling through the
borough a pleasant, comfortable and enjoyable experience. There are
217 miles of highways which we maintain and so your comments and
feedback are essential in making us aware of problems that we can
start to put right.
Tower Hamlets travel strategy is firmly aimed
at walking, cycling or public transport for local travel. In order
to encourage you to walk and cycle more often, we need to provide
clean, clear and well-maintained footpaths and cyclepaths.
How quickly we can react to solving the
problems is governed by how much danger and inconvenience is caused
and where we can get the best return on expenditure. There is a
limited amount of money available each year from council tax and
fixed grants from Transport for London.
