I’ve told Kent County Council that local residents need to be listened to as improvement works to the Blue Bell Hill junction are considered.  

A new system to stop lorries clogging up Kent’s roads is welcome news.

For years our roads have had to bear the brunt of disruption at the Channel ports – in most cases because of bad weather or strikes in France.

The last of the new street signs and road markings went up last month.

Faversham now has a town-wide 20mph speed zone! This is the result of years of hard work from local campaigners, led by 20’s Plenty for Faversham.

I’m pleased that Kent County Council has come forward with plans to improve the junction between the A2 and A251 in Faversham.

This well-known local bottleneck badly needs an upgrade, and I’m pleased that £1.7 million had been secured to improve the junction.

This week the first signs and road markings started appearing in Faversham as a town-wide 20mph zone comes into force.

The scheme was approved by Kent County Council earlier in the summer following a successful bid for funding from the Government’s Active Travel Fund.

The EU transition will come to an end in December, and it’s vital we plan ahead to keep people and freight moving along Kent’s roads.

After years of campaigning, I’m delighted that a town-wide 20mph speed zone in Faversham will soon become a reality.

The scheme is one of several projects benefiting from a new £1.6 million fund awarded to Kent County Council from the Government to encourage walking and cycling.

A new crossing in Faversham is needed more than ever.

If we want more people to walk and cycle, we need to make our roads safer – which includes having accessible crossing places.

A lower speed limit in Faversham could soon become a reality.

For the past five years, the 20’s Plenty for Faversham campaign has been leading calls for a lower speed limit in the town. 

Getting more people walking and cycling is so important. It’s a cheaper and greener way to travel and better for our health.
