Other issues, that do not fall under the Parish Council’s remit should be reported directly to the relevant authority using the links below. If you share the reference number with our office we will be able to help chase up the matter until resolution.
Road and pavement issues (including drainage, street lights, traffic signals, bus stop (poles/signs), roadworks problems, overgrown vegetation), should be reported to Kent County Council (KCC) on the following link:
KCC Highways Report A Fault Tool
There is a new reporting tool (from August 2025) for potholes here:
Footpath and bridle way issues (damaged stiles, overgrown vegetation or fallen trees, damaged or dangerous path surfaces, damaged or missing signposts) should be reported to Kent County Council Public Rights of Way team:

Footpath responsibility can be confusing with some being maintained by KCC and some by MBC. You can view all KCC footpaths using the Public Rights of Way map here: KCC Public Rights of Way Map
