Roadworks in Staffordshire

Keeping the traffic moving on Staffordshire's roads is a difficult and complex task.

Staffordshire has well over 3,100 miles of roadway and many more footpaths. The roads are the backbone of the county's economy, keeping goods, services and people on the move.

The County Council's Highways Teams are out working in your community throughout the year, resurfacing the roads, improving footpaths and road drains, installing road safety schemes and other improvements. This alone is a big job.

You can help us keep the roads in the best possible condition by reporting if you see a pothole, a broken streetlight, a blocked drain or a block right of way (country footpath). CLARENCE is our roads and lighting hotline which means reports are dealt with swiftly and effectively.

"I had considered that the job might be too small for anyone to bother with - but how wrong I was. Within a day of my telephone call one of your inspectors called and a couple of days later the bad area had been tarmacked," said one recently satisfied customer.

Underneath the roads is a network of pipes, wires and cables - keeping our increasingly complex and demanding society on track.      

Gas, water, phone and electricity companies and housing developers dig about 27,000 holes in Staffordshire's roads every year to get to these vital services, often at very short notice. We work to co-ordinate them and our own road maintenance activities - minimizing disruption.
