Rock Hill works at the start of July

Works to tackle the long-standing problems of water runoff on Rock Hill - by installing a French drain towards the top of the hill and cleansing the drainage system further down the hill on the Bromley-facing side - are due to start on 1 July.

This will require a road closure from the intersection with Pump Lane up to the top of the hill. The Kent Highways notice states that the closure can be for up to 14 days, though in practice it is likely to be only for a day or so.

I set out these plans in earlier posts (23 February) and indicated the probable timing likely when I spoke at the Well Hill Residents Association AGM earlier this year. I have sought through the Residents' Association to have the plans sent out so that any concerns over the works can be raised and addressed. Anyone who is still concerned should contact me since there are still a couple of weeks to go before the works start.

The other significant road works in Well Hill - tackling the potholes and drainage problems in Well Hill, in the dip between the Parkgate Road and Firmingers Road junctions - took place some weeks ago (post of 20 May).
