Looking after our highways network

We want to keep Kent’s roads, drains and bridges safe, reliable and ready for the future.

We work with a highways company called Ringway, who help us to look after our roads and the wider transport network across Kent.

How Ringway will help us

Ringway can help us with everyday roadworks and longer‑term repairs, including:

• fixing roads and potholes
• clearing drains
• gritting roads in winter
• looking after bridges and tunnels
• dealing with emergency road problems, day and night.

They use their own teams, equipment and specialist skills to carry out most of this work.
