Muddled management of a know problem
Muddled management of a know problem, it was known in advance that the first weekend of the school holidays would be busy, but it was left to the first day of the weekend to admit there was a problem. What do we pay these people for? Running the County/Country! To add insult to injury why not have roadworks on the main diversion via the A20 at Charing on the very day it started? Der? Why not have this done during the autumn/winter. pretty simple, but no one thought of it. Oh, lets dig up all surrounding rat runs so no locals can move either. The roads in Kent have long been deteriorating with very little money spent on them. Every rural road in the county needs reinstating up to standards that do not ruin car suspensions, cause cyclists to fall off, have no capacity to accept 44ton vehicles, yet this is allowed to continue. Farms should not be allowed vehicles over 18ton to visit their farms. Costa of farm access roads should be Bourne by the farms, not the council. If they cant afford to maintain the roads, then do not have large vehicle access. These roads were just farm tracks, ie mud roads with no foundations and just 'top dressing ' layer over the mud. Hence all the potholes, frost gets under the top surface and become huge potholes create by the trucks. Why do farms not instruct large vehicles the best way into their farms? Why do they allow these 44ton lorries travel down 8'6'' roads? All because their foreign sat naps take them that way. Can they read weight limits, can they read signs, any signs.
Consultation has concluded.
