Wood Street works start today

Wood Street, Swanley Village, is clsoed today and tomorrow for mircoasphalting works being carried out by Kent Highways. The two-day closure is from 7am until 7pm each day, with diversions via Button Street and Ship Lane. The condition of the road has long been a concern, and I took this up with Kent Highways officers when we did joint tours of my Division to assess road problems. These surface dressing works (the next step down from a full resurfacing) were programmed in for this financial year some time ago. Hopefully it will make a welcome difference to this part of the village.
