Earlier this year at a public meeting I chaired in Shoreham, many residents were keen that we took an overall look at the highways problems in the village. So today I walked the village with members of the parish council and Kent Highways officers.We identified where weeds need tackling and road signs need cleaning.
We also examined possible sites for 'gateways' making it clearer to drivers that they are entering the village; sites for speed and traffic logs, again at the approaches to the village; ways to enhance the pathways to the station; and extra parking sites, an issue which is likely to be led by Sevenoaks District Council.
In addition, Kent Highways is currently re-examining its views on mirrors at road bends, which in the past it has been reluctant to endorse. There are possible sites in the village where these could be applied.
