Maintenance

Medway Council is developing prioritised maintenance programmes to improve:

  • the condition of the roads
  • pavements
  • street facilities and equipment
  • road safety
  • facilities to vulnerable road users.

These programmes fall into the following areas:

  • road and pavement surfacing;
  • street lighting schemes;
  • traffic signal schemes;
  • Rights of Way enhancement;
  • strengthening of highway structures;
  • accident reduction schemes;
  • wheelchair and pram crossing locations.

The council welcomes additional suggestions, which can be made using the contact details below, but they can only be included on a programme if they are of a higher priority than work that is already in a programme.

Spillages

If you see an oil spillage along the road, this is an urgent matter and needs to be reported as soon as possible. Please phone the number below and give an accurate description of the location or fill out an online form.

Roads

Each year the Planned Maintenance Team compiles a list of roads to be considered for resurfacing work. These are inspected and prioritised according to their condition and the possible treatments available. If you request a road to be resurfaced, it will be added to the list and if successful, work will be carried out in the following financial year.

Please phone the number below or fill out an online form if you notice:

  • poor quality road or footway surface;
  • obstructions on the road, such as a plank of wood;
  • a rocking manhole cover that make a noise when traffic runs over it
  • a worn out broken white line.

Road marking requests

The council receives many requests for yellow lines and each site is assessed, with priority being given to schemes with a history of injury related accidents. Your request will be retained on file and included within a future traffic regulation order for safety schemes.

If you would like request road markings, fill out an online form or phone the number below.
