According to Staffs County Council news released yesterday, 27th February 2026, early improvements are already beginning to impact how the county’s roads are managed. This follows the county council's launch of a new approach to road travel in October 2025.
The Staffordshire Roadmap to a Better Network is starting to make a difference in how highways are managed. Improvements include:
Highways engineers have changed the way they plan works so they cause less disruption on the highways network and help keep Staffordshire moving.
Improved condition surveys are helping to spot problems earlier too, so issues can be sorted before they get worse.
Residents are getting clearer updates about upcoming works, making it easier to understand what’s happening in their area.
In January, the county council announced an extra £15 million over the next two years to tackle the backlog of road defects. These will be identified by local repair teams, another key aspect of the Roadmap, who know their patches well and can act quickly when problems arise.
