Resurfacing

We're currently delivering a planned maintenance programme which includes improvements to Medway's road network.

When we are looking at road resurfacing, there are a lot of factors that we consider. To find out about the criteria and how we use this information, download our resurfacing scoring criteria.

Local highways maintenance transparency report

The Department for Transport (DfT) expects all local highways authorities to publish information about their highways maintenance activities to help local taxpayers see the difference that funding is making in their areas. 

To find out more about the information requested by the DfT in relation to Medway Council, view our highway maintenance page.
