ESH recognise the importance of the Highway network. The highway infrastructure is vital to not only the economic growth of the county but to keep local communities safe and connected as promoted by our council’s priorities. The local highway network is without doubt the most valuable publicly owned asset managed by East Sussex County Council (ESCC) with a total value of £8.58 billion (2017).
The Council is committed to having the best road condition for the investment available, and supports an asset management based approach for the maintenance of the highway network.
