In March we repaired: 9863 potholes.
A hole new video
We've made a video to show you the three different methods that we use to fill potholes.
When potholes are reported, our highways stewards inspect them to decide on the best fix.

Time to trim
Our grass cutting programme is well under way for 2015.
Every year we cut around 1,381 acres of grass. This includes
residential areas, rural verges, roundabouts, traffic islands and areas at road
junctions so drivers can see clearly.
The Department for Transport report on road conditions in
England released last month shows that East Sussex has had a big improvement.
In 2007 14% of the county’s classified roads were in need of maintenance but by
2013/14 it had dropped to 7%. Our most recent survey shows from autumn 2014
shows that this has improved again to just 5%.
If your property has a border with a public footpath or road please keep your hedges and verges cut back so pedestrians, cyclists and traffic can pass safely. We politely remind you that it is your responsibility to keep it trim.
