Reporting road and lighting faults

Any resident can contact the Highways Hotline to report faults and defects to roads, pavements, street signs, lighting, blocked drains (in road gutters) fallen or dangerous trees and branches, and all other highway problems. Staff at Staffordshire County Council's Development Services Department have a 'one stop' system to try to improve our highway maintenance. They need the assistance of local residents as they cannot tour every area all of the time. Working together, we can all help to improve our environment.

Contact Highways Hotline (formerly called CLARENCE) by freephone on 0800 232323
