Roads maintenance

Dorset Highways undertake both routine and structural maintenance to ensure the pavements and roads of Dorset remain in a safe and usable condition.

This includes repairing the underlying structure of the road rather than just to the visible appearance of the surface. Identifying faults quickly to prevent a minor fault developing into a more serious safety issue. For our draft list of proposed structural maintenance this year please see the document to the right.

Here is a brief list of the services we offer:

  • Gully emptying
  • High pressure water jetting service
  • Road sweeping
  • Road, car park and playground marking
  • Vehicle safety fencing installation
  • Signs supplied and erected
  • Traffic management
  • Road and car park salting
  • Repair and maintenance of the roads, paths and car parks
  • Bridge repairs
  • Surface dressing
