East Hill Road: new dates for road works

East Hill Road residents have today received a notification of the delayed Kent Highways road improvement works, billed as part of the 'pothole blitz', but also involving significant road surface patching. (There is an error in the heading of the note, indicating that it relates to 'Pedestrian barrier improvement works' - this is not the case). 

As before, I must declare my interest as an East Hill Road resident.

The works will now take place for five nights (between 8pm and 2am) between Monday 2 August and Friday 6 August. 

This will require a full road closure during those hours; however, as was the case during the earlier plans for the works (delayed by the need for South East Water to repair a water leak, now carried out) every effort will be made to give residents access and, as is the case with such closures, restrictions will not apply to emergency vehicles.

The aim remains to keep disruption to residents to a minimum and the end result should be some much-needed improvements to a road that is showing a lot of wear and tear.
