Maintenance

Every 2 years, all roads in the municipality are inspected. This involves checking for damage and subsidence of the road surface. We use the national system of CROW. 

In addition, reports from residents come in and damage is observed by ourselves. 

As a result, maintenance work is scheduled. There are two types of maintenance:

• Minor maintenance: minor, localized repairs. This is about loose tiles, or root pressure....
• Major maintenance: this involves the full width of the road being resurfaced, without major changes to the street profile. The moment the street layout is changed, for example by the construction of new parking spaces we speak of a redesign. If the sewers are also replaced, we speak of reconstruction.

Cost

Each year an average of €821,000 is spent on maintenance. In addition, repairing minor damages, such as sagging tiles, costs about €150,000 per year.

Notification of nuisance or disturbance

You can report to the municipality, for example, loose sidewalk tiles or subsidence in the road. Preferably use the MijnGemeente App for this, or make a report via the page Report public space. Of course, you can also report by phone: 040-2893893. We try to remedy unsafe situations as quickly as possible. Sometimes work is combined, in which case it may take longer to repair the situation.
