Kent County Council's spring 'Find and Fix' campaign - otherwise known as the pothole blitz - is under way.
The campaign will be in two phases. This month some £500K, set aside by the County Council and using a network of local contractors, will be spent on the campaign. A further £1.96m will be spent after mid-May; this is money allocated from national government to local authorities.
The campaign will focus on the minor roads that often get much less of the funding available than do the more major routes. Despite the 'pothole blitz' terminology, much of the work will be patching over a wider area than a single pothole - but it should all contribute to improvement of the roads.
Initial activity will pick up problems that are already known, but where holes are not at the 'intervention level' that triggers immediate action by Kent Highways. In addition, residents and Parish Councils can use Kent Highways' usual fault reporting system.
