Kent Highway Services is the part of Kent County Council that looks after the county's roads, pavements and cycleways. Maintaining Kent's streets and pavements is a vital and major task for the council. Kent has over 5,000 miles of streets and pavements, and over 100,000 street lights and other lit signs. In winter, ice and snow can make road surfaces more hazardous to drive on. They anticipate bad weather where possible, and take steps to keep roads open and safe. This involves a combination of salting or snow ploughing, and timely warnings to drivers. Grass verges and other planted areas by the roadside are known as soft landscape areas. They help to soften the harshness of a built-up area and reduce noise. One of our roles is to look after these areas.
Kent Highways Services have a 24/7 fault reporting centre that can be contacted on 08458 247 800. Any fault reported is put straight onto the highways computer system and is then sent to the relevant department for action. All faults are tracked and monitored to ensure that they are resolved within agreed timescales. This is the same number used by the Parish Council Clerk to report faults.
So if you have a street light that’s not working, a salt bin that needs filling or a pothole in a pavement or road please phone Kent Highways 08458 247 800 services direct, it will ensure the fault is put onto the system as soon as possible.
