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'll deliver with the new 2023/24 and 2024/25 funding unlocked from the Network North plan.
The following pages document the information requested by the DfT in relation to Medway Council.

Resurfacing works and digging
We're using our streetworks and other powers to ensure that resurfacing works are not undermined by repeated digging within the same road by utility companies.
We participate in a quarterly statutory undertaker’s co-ordination meeting where upcoming works by the council and statutory undertakers are discussed between all parties.
Cross-party working is encouraged and include discussions around future programmes to reduce the need for repeated digging.
Our streetworks team also issues section 58 notices on recently completed resurfacing schemes. These notices prevent statutory undertakers from digging up the road for several years following resurfacing unless there is an emergency or a new service.
