£1.15 million pothole blitz

Kent's roads have taken a pounding from the severe winter weather, with many potholes appearing in recent weeks. However, an extra £1.15 million is being invested to tackle the problem. The 'Find and Fix 2013' programme follows on from similar initiatives in the last couple of years. The time taken to fix a pothole has nearly halved from 25 days in 2011 to 14 days last year.

Highways crews have already repaired some 2,000 potholes in the last four weeks. Now that winter is (hopefully) drawing to a close, the rate at which potholes are fixed will accelerate. You can find out the details of how to report a pothole here; alternatively, get in touch with me and I will ensure that Highways take the issue up.
