Report a problem on a right of way
Report non-urgent issues to us online including:
- broken stiles
- overgrown vegetation or fallen trees
- damaged or dangerous path surfaces
- damaged or missing signposts.
You must submit a separate report for each individual problem. This helps us to identify and inspect the correct location and update you on progress more accurately.
For any issues that may cause an injury or accident call 03000 41 71 71 instead. We are available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.
Email prow@kent.gov.uk for general enquiries or technical issues with the fault reporting tool.
Report an issue on the road or pavement
Report problems on roads and pavements, including potholes and drainage, to our highways team via the report a problem on the road or pavement tool.
Report fly-tipping
Contact your local borough or district council to report this.
How long it takes to fix problems
We prioritise repairs according to local needs and our obligations as the highway and access authority.
How long it takes us depends on what the problem is and how easily we can find out who owns the land and who's responsible for it. It also depends on our operational priorities and resources.
