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 programme.
Additional resurfacing and other highways maintenance work
The Department for Transport (DfT) is asking all local highway authorities that are not in Mayoral Combined Authority areas to publish prominently on their websites a plan for the additional resurfacing and other highways maintenance work they will deliver with the new 2023/24 and 2024/25 funding unlocked from the Network North plan.
To find out more about the information requested by the DfT in relation to Medway Council, view the reallocation funding plan.
