As part of the range of schemes aimed at reducing speeding in the heart of Crockenhill, a 20 mph zone has been established. The signage that supports this comprises signs and roundels at different entry points to the centre of the village, in Cray Road, Green Court Road, and Eynsford Road, as well as in Stones Cross Road, Church Street and Old Chapel Road.
Most of this has now been installed. However, there were some difficulties in finding a site that did not inconvenience residents for a sign in Eynsford Road. However, this appears now to have been resolved and a satisfactory site found: the sign should go in early next week. In addition, some High Friction surfacing is due to be installed in Stones Cross Road by the school, but this will require a road closure and will not take place until the next school holidays in May.
These works have been paid for from my Combined Member Fund. This leaves the one remaining issue of installation of granite setts or an equivalent that can be put in without disrupting existing utilities under the road. I hope to post more news on this soon.
Welcome to my website. I am proud to represent Sevenoaks North and Darent Valley, one of the loveliest parts of Kent, on the County Council. The Division is made up of a number of communities: Crockenhill, Eynsford (including Lullingstone), Farningham, Horton Kirby, Kemsing, Otford, Seal, Seal Chart, Shoreham, South Darenth, Southdowns, Swanley Village, Underriver and Well Hill. Since October 2019, I have served as the Leader of Kent County Council. This blog reflects both roles.
