During the summer Kent County Council will be reviewing one of the services it provides that affects most of us on a daily basis - we call it Transport Operations. Whether it is from fixing potholes to building new roads or from road safety education to installing more speed cameras, we will be looking at key areas of the services we provide to you to see how we can do better.

The service we are reviewing is called 'Transport Operations' and it affects you because we:

• spend £40 million maintaining 8400km of road (including 3000 bridges, 110,000 streetlights, 512 traffic light sites, 2 tunnels )



• spend £10 million improving and making safer existing roads



• spend £14 million building new roads



• spend £4 million supporting bus routes that are not financially viable for the commercial bus companies.



• spend £0.5 million delivering road safety education to schools



• work with planning authorities and developers to manage the transport impacts and design of new developments (shops, housing etc).



• managing the 50,000 trenches made by utility companies (e.g, gas, electric etc) each year

We want to know your views about the service we provide. What do you like or don't like? For example;

• can you get to work without falling down a pothole?
  
  
• do you think traffic speeds are too fast?



• do you know who to contact if you spot a pothole?



• do we do enough to make our roads safer?



• do you always seem to get stuck in roadworks?



• would you like to use the bus but can't?



• do you get enough information about when roadworks are going to start?
