    To: Tonbridge and Malling Joint Transportation Board By: KCC Highways, Transportation & Waste Date: Subject: Highway Forward Works Programme – 2019/20 onwards Classification: Information Only Summary: This report updates Members on the identified schemes approved for construction 1. Introduction This report provides an update and summarises schemes that have been programmed for delivery in 2019/20. Kent County Council has agreed a substantial increase in the budget for planned highway works over the next three years, and as a result we are still in the process of identifying and designing schemes for inclusion in our full Year One to Two (2019/20 and 2020/21) and Year Three to Five (2021/22 to 2023/24) programmes. Because of this, we have decided to publish an interim programme, and to publish the full programmes later this year. For some assets this interim programme covers approximately the first six months of 2019/20, whilst for others it includes most of the works planned for the whole year. This programme is subject to regular review and may change for a number of reasons including budget allocation, contract rate changes, and to reflect KCC’s changing priorities. The programme and extent of individual sites within the programme may also be revised following engineering assessment during the design phase.

  • Annex 1 Medway Valley A228/A20 Corridors Outline Public Transport
    Annex 1 Medway Valley A228/A20 Corridors Outline Public Transport Strategy. 1.0 Scope of the Strategy. 1.1 This note is prepared to inform the parallel M20 Junction 3-5 Study undertaken by the Highways Agency. The area of interest includes the A228 corridor from Holborough to Kings Hill and the A20 Corridor from West Malling to Maidstone. It includes key development sites at Kings Hill, Leybourne Grange, Holborough Quarry and Peters Village and Aylesford. 1.2 In developing any improvement schemes for the M20 it is important that an integrated approach is adopted and that there is a complementary package of public transport improvements and improved facilities for pedestrians and cyclists on the County road network. This also needs to be matched by a sustainable pattern of new development and measures to reduce the number of car trips in the peak hours. 2.0 Existing Situation Existing Public Transport Services 2.1 West Malling Railway Station 2.1.1 The area benefits from rail services operating from West Malling railway station which lies close to the existing A228 bypass. From here there is a regular half-hourly service to London Victoria via Bromley and a less frequent service to Charing Cross and an hourly off peak service to Cannon Street. To the east the rail services provide direct connections to Maidstone and Ashford, where rail services to Europe are available. 2.1.2 As well as taxi services, there is a shuttle bus service linking West Malling railway station with West Malling and Kings Hill. Most rail passengers though arrive by car and many park at the station car parks and at other locations in the area.

    SUPPLEMENTARY REPORTS AREA 3 PLANNING COMMITTEE DATED 26 November 2015 Snodland TM/15/03043/FL Snodland East And Ham Hill Alterations and improvements to station forecourt at Snodland Railway Station High Street Snodland for Network Rail Infrastructure Limited Additional information: The applicant has submitted an additional letter which seeks to clarify and address some of the issues raised by local residents, the contents of which are reproduced as follows: “With regard to the neighbours parking, the proposed scheme has been designed to avoid taking any of the existing residents parking. It is noted that Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council have proposals to install double yellow lines in locations which are considered unsuitable for parking (adjacent to road junctions and the level crossing) however this does not form part of our application and may go ahead regardless of the station improvement plans. To cover the cost of running and managing the car park, Southeastern (as station manager) would look to charge for car parking at the station. As there is currently very limited car parking at the station, it is considered that some passengers are currently parking on the highway surrounding the station. Southeastern have also received complaints from passengers that there is not enough car parking at this station. By providing additional car parking spaces in a car park covered by CCTV and lighting (to the Car Park Mark specification), Southeastern hope that the improved facility will encourage station users to park at the station and not on the highway. It should also be noted that the Kent County Council (KCC) Highways team have suggested that a residents parking zone in the area may be a good solution, however they have also explained within their consultation response that any concerns regarding this are not material to this application.

Some of the largest lime and cement factories in the country were developed here in what had hitherto been a predominantly rural area and their activities caused some amazement for visitors expecting the delights of the ‘Garden of England’. Encouraged and accompanied by travellers as enterprising as myself, I have recently employed a summer holiday in visiting a town known as Cementopolis, of which I had for years only heard dim, vague, and doubtful accounts. It is not unpleasantly situated in an amphitheatre of hills with a river branch for its base, filled with a flotilla of shipping. Its inhabitants are numerous and industrious, though what it is they are doing it is not easy for a stranger to discover.
