The Board considered the report and a concern was expressed that works in Marden had been carried out under poor weather conditions, with snow on the roads, which resulted in traffic being diverted from a main road to side roads that were not gritted. The issue had been raised with KCC officers and was being reviewed including the risk assessment carried out on the scheme.

The issue of potholes was raised and whether an accelerated programme was underway given the increasing number of them.  The Board were informed that potholes were the main priority throughout Maidstone for the team.

The Board made several requests via individual Councillors for updates to schemes including schemes in Coxheath, the traffic signal scheme at Hermitage Lane and Fullingpits Avenue, and Bicknor Road.  Officers undertook to respond separately to the relevant Councillors on those matters.

KCC Officers were thanked for being responsive to requests for information on schemes, and for their hard work over a difficult three week period. 

RESOLVED: That the report be noted.
