A number of Highways projects are being carried out in Swanley Village with support from my Member Highway Fund (now the Combined Member Fund). Progress is being made, albeit on a piecemeal basis.
High-friction surfacing is set to be installed as part of the establishment of gateways at the entry points to the village. It was originally intended that these would be installed before Christmas, but this was deferred until the February half term. It has now been confirmed that this will take place on Monday 16 February, and will involve a very short road closure (lasting about an hour).
Gateway signs were installed before Christmas, but appear not to have been painted. Residents have understandably questioned this; I have duly taken up the issue, and this has produced some head scratching at Kent Highways, since the signs should have been painted in a similar fashion to those seen in other villages. Officers are looking into this and hopefully it should be rectified soon.
Finally, we seem to be close to a point where we can move ahead in securing the village sign. I hope to confirm the precise status of this with officers next week.
