📢 There's still time to have your say on Rochester High Street traffic improvements

Thank you to everyone who took part in our recent consultation — your feedback has helped shape the next steps.

👍 Following strong public support, the Rochester High Street traffic improvement proposals will now progress to the statutory consultation stage.

What’s proposed:
🚫 Introducing a ‘No vehicle’ restriction on Sundays and bank holidays (10am–4pm)
📷 Improving access management during restricted hours with ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) cameras at Blue Boar Lane, Crow Lane and Boley Hill
↩️ Strengthening enforcement of existing banned turns at Boley Hill using ANPR technology

These improvements will help create a safer, more attractive and better-managed high street — giving people more space to:
🚶 Walk
🛍️ Shop
🏛️ Enjoy Rochester’s historic centre
A more welcoming environment will also benefit local retailers and businesses, encouraging increased footfall and enhancing the overall visitor experience.

🚸 School Streets: for safer journeys to school in Medway

We’re continuing our commitment to making school journeys safer and more sustainable across Medway. Following the successful launch of the School Street schemes in 2024, we’re excited to announce the next phase of the programme—coming 8 June 2026.

Going live on 8 June we will have new School Streets at:
📍 Horsted Primary School
📍 Crest Infant School and Delce Academy

We’re working closely with schools, residents, and local businesses to ensure anyone eligible will receive exemptions before the schemes go live.

🚧 New Hall Farm Lane, Lower Stoke – Resurfacing complete ✅

We’ve recently completed resurfacing works on New Hall Farm Lane, Lower Stoke. Thank you for your patience while this was carried out.

We know road surface conditions are a concern for many residents. Roads wear out over time – especially with heavy use and the impact of British weather 🌧️❄️. Keeping our network safe is an ongoing task, and not something that ever finishes.

💷 Medway’s highways repair budget is £5.72 million. While that sounds significant, it must cover:

🛣️ Over 3,500 roads – across our towns and rural areas
🏗️ 112,000 highway assets, including the Medway Tunnel

This finite budget also funds resurfacing, reactive repairs, streetlights 💡, gully cleaning 🌧️, kerbs, bridges 🌉, road signs 🚏 and more.

Take a look at the webpage to find out how this budget is being used - the work completed to date and what's planned for the remainder of the year: https://orlo.uk/LK3QX

Thank you for your understanding as we continue this work across Medway.

🚚 HGVs have limited vision — stay out of their ‘no‑zones’.

👀 Know the zones when approaching or overtaking.
➡️ Don’t linger beside an HGV — overtake and move past safely.
📏 Give space before moving back in.
⛔ Never tailgate — if you can’t see their mirrors, they can’t see you.

🛣️ Stay safe - find out more: https://orlo.uk/KXdOd
