The current situation concerning roadworks show little signs of improvement, and in and around Sevenoaks in recent days the problem has been absolutely appalling.
I have written to the Cabinet Member of Kent County Council asking that an urgent review takes place of both the current situation, and of planned works.
I have also asked that an investigation takes place of the use of “emergency” repairs by utility companies. At present nearly one-third of all works take place as an ‘emergency’, which lessens by a great degree the oversight Kent County Council have over the planning of works. This must be stopped.
