Well Hill closed for pothole repairs on Monday

A couple of weeks ago, I reported to the AGM of the Well Hill Residents' Association. I didn't get to deliver the report in person because of long traffic delays on the M20 after the closure of the M26 as a result of a fatal accident. The report has, however, since been circulated to residents.

In this I stated that the potholes in Well Hill were due to be fixed in May. This would inevitably require a road closure. Kent Highways have now confirmed that the road will be closed next Monday, May 12, for the works to be carried out.

The email announcing this was a little unclear, since it is stated on the one side that the road would be closed in its entirety, yet also suggested Firmingers Road as a detour. I have raised a query about this and will update this post when I get clarification. The very worst potholes (picture) are in the section of the road between Firmingers Road and Parkgate Road, so it may be that the section closer to Rock Hill will be left open.
