Improving local roads

Each County Councillor has a £25,000 annual fund - the Member Highway Fund - to spend on highways-related projects in his or her Division. You can find below the schemes that I have supported from my Fund since it was introduced in 2009. 

The dates given are for the year in which funding was committed, not necessarily when the project was completed. As you can see, some are still awaiting completion. In addition, there has been some scope to roll over money from one year to another, so in any given year I may have spent more or less than £25,000.

If you have any proposals about highways schemes that would benefit your community in Darent Valley, please don't hesitate to contact me.
