Roadworks

Nearly 930km of highway network need to be maintained across the Peterborough area. This covers roadways such as dual carriageways and busy inner city routes, to quiet lanes and village streets in rural areas. The roads and pavements page has further information on how the highway network is managed.

You can find up-to-date information about roadworks, road closures, diversions and traffic incidents affecting local roads on the One Network website.

Reporting faults

Street lighting faults

If there is a street light that has stopped working either outside your house, down your road or anywhere across the city, you can report it to the street lighting team.

Potholes

You can report potholes on the online reporting system.

Winter maintenance

In order to maintain the public highways within the local area, a winter maintenance service is also provided. Residents can follow any updates regarding road gritting via social media.

Consultation and feedback

The maintenance of the highway network is ultimately for the benefit of the customer – the residents and local businesses that use it. Making informed decisions to ensure that the network is appropriately maintained for the customer is central to asset management practice, and has been considered throughout the development of the Highway Asset Management Policy and Strategy.

Successful asset management is dependent on ongoing communication and feedback between asset managers, key stakeholders and the customer. This process is detailed in the Highways Asset Management Communications Strategy.
