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.
Welcome to my website. I am proud to represent Sevenoaks North and Darent Valley, one of the loveliest parts of Kent, on the County Council. The Division is made up of a number of communities: Crockenhill, Eynsford (including Lullingstone), Farningham, Horton Kirby, Kemsing, Otford, Seal, Seal Chart, Shoreham, South Darenth, Southdowns, Swanley Village, Underriver and Well Hill. Since October 2019, I have served as the Leader of Kent County Council. This blog reflects both roles.
