Derbyshire Now – 6th November 2026 Edition
On the right road
If you’re a motorist, cyclist or anyone who relies on Derbyshire’s roads, an independent review says our highways service is moving in the right direction.
The review has praised the progress made by our highways service, highlighting improvements to road conditions, the quality of repairs and the way work is planned across the county.
The review team, made up of more than 75 highways professionals, councillors and council staff from around the country, spent three days in Derbyshire looking at how the service is performing.
They recognised the big strides made over the past 12 to 18 months, praising the team’s commitment, growing investment in roads, and the opportunities being created for apprentices and graduates.
The review also identified areas for further improvement, including better communication with local communities and making sure residents can clearly see the benefits of investment in the roads they use every day.
