Works to go ahead in South Darenth

Some time ago, I committed to support some works outside Giffords Cottages in Holmesdale Road, South Darenth, from my Combined Member Fund.

An unwanted rumble strip that is highly damaging to nearby properties will be removed. At the same time, new bollards will be installed outside Giffords Cottages, providing some protection from large vehicles and replacing the rather unsightly barrier currently in place. 

I visited the site with Highways officers a few days ago, along with the Horton Kirby and South Darenth Parish Clerk, to check final details of the project. It will require a road closure and Kent Highways will take the opportunity to carry out some much-needed repairs to the surface (paid for from the general Highways budget rather than my Member Fund). The works should certainly be soon; if all goes well, they could be carried out as soon as January.
