Road repair report headings meaning of

31st August 2011

As anyone any experience of these reports and their headigs- namely
CRNo
L.A.Code
Maint. Stage
Maint.Recd.
Recorded
Issue
Priority Description
Stage
Description
Date Cleared

some are obvious but lets take
"Priority Description" detailed as "standard"?

cannot see how this links in with Highways policies and standards terminology is not the same.

Thanks for any advice

I have your report and from what I can make out:

CR No. - just a unique reference number assigned.

LA Code - A code assigned to the status of the issue (like the Police using a specific code for each crime)

Maint. stage - what stage the issue is at. For example has repair of the pothole been approved but not yet completed. I would take little notice of this column as the likelihood of it being updated is slim.

Maint. Recd - Not sure on that one. Probably means the date that the issue was record.

Recorded - Again, not sure, but probably means the last date that the record was updated

Issue - fairly obvious

Priority Description - what priority was assigned to the pothole, which would reflect how dangerous it was and how quickly it would be attended to. Some authorities use Categories, some use 'high, medium, low'. Standard seems to suggest that it was medium risk.

Stage - not sure on this one, I assume it means the status of the record as opposed to the pothole.

As you say, others are obvious.

Hope this helps
