In the summer, Kent Highways announced that £6m was available for additional resurfacing projects across the County. The money had arisen from an underspend in KCC's budget for last financial year (2011-12).
I worked with Parish Councils across my Division to bid for possible projects in Darent Valley. We always knew that we would not get everything, or indeed most of what we asked for: there is plenty of demand for schemes across the whole County. But if you don't ask, you certainly don't get. So we asked.
Three schemes have been successful: Stones Cross Road in Crockenhill, White Post Hill in Farningham and Beesfield Lane, also in Farningham.
The only bad news ... With harsher weather setting in, the work will not be able to be done until March. But we do at least have the prospect of three schemes, worth some £70,000, going ahead in the Division in the coming months.
