Streets Ahead is a huge city-wide highways maintenance contract that is upgrading and then maintaining the condition of our city’s roads, pavements, street lights, bridges and other items on or around our streets. It's the largest highway investment contract ever seen in the city, worth £2bn.

This aim of this contract is to maintain and upgrade:

• road and pavements
• gritting and snow clearance
• bridge and other road-side structures
• roadside trees and verges
• traffic lights and road signs
• street lights
• road drainage
• street cleaning
• street furniture including nameplate, bollards, safety fences, barriers and benches

We want to hear about the ways you think we can make our streets safer and which areas you would like to see improved. Leave your thoughts, or add comments to other people's ideas below.
