Briefing note on Gully Emptying Schedules (Item B1) Mr J Burr, Director of Kent Highway Services, was present for this item. (1) Mr Burr spoke to the briefing note which had been circulated to Members with the agenda pack. He acknowledged that officers had not delivered what the Committee had originally requested, and had met with the Chairman a few weeks previously to discuss the issue. (2) The original aim was to undertake needs-based gulley emptying, but that this had not progressed as much as officers would have liked. Instead gulley emptying had been reactive, but Kent Highways Services were moving toward a more needs-based approach. (3) Mr Burr explained that Members had received maps of the ‘drainage hotspots’ in their individual divisions and that their specialist local knowledge could be used to add to the increasing number of gullies that had been recorded. There were approximately 300,000 gullies in the county, and they would ideally all be emptied within one year, but realistically this might take 18 months. (4) Mr Manning expressed a view that since the originally-promised gulley emptying schedule was beyond the remit of Kent Highway Services to provide and a marathon task, and that Members were grateful for the further information that had been provided that the matter should not be pursued further by the Committee. (5) Mrs Rook spoke of the significant issues that had been experienced in Deal and congratulated the drainage team on their response to the issues which has been communicated by the public, but expressed a view that an indication of when further gullies would be emptied should be made available. Mrs Law raised the specific Page2 2 issues of Station Road in Herne Bay, the only division with utility cables through its drainage system.

  • Notes on Roman Roads in East Kent Margary
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society NOTES ON ROMAN ROADS IN EAST KENT By IvAN D. MARGARY, F.S.A. THE Roman roads of East Kent are generally so obvious and well known that no further description of them seems necessary. There are, however, a few points at which the line is doubtful or where topographical problems admit of some discussion, and it is in considera- tion of these that the following notes are offered. They are based upon field observation made during a visit of some days to the district in June, 1947. STONE STREET—LYMPNE TO CANTERBURY The very striking directness of this road makes it clear that its purpose was to link Canterbury with the Roman port at Lympne. This was probably situated below the old cliffs, near the hamlet of West Hythe, to which access is given by a convenient combo in the cliffs at that point from Shipway Cross above. The Saxon Shore fort at Stutfall Castle was, of course, a late Roman construction, much later than Stone Street, and was probably connected to West Hythe by a spur road below the cliffs, for access to it from Lympne, directly above, would have been awkward. It is to Shipway Cross and the head of the combe that the main alignment of Stone Street is exactly directed. Although it has now disappeared between the Cross and New Inn Green, there are distinct traces of its scattered stone metalling in the field to the south of the Green, while portions of hedgerows and a footpath mark some parts of its course there.

  • Revision of Speed Limits: A257
    Agenda Item No 8 Revision of Speed Limits: A257 To: Dover Joint Transportation Board, 21 April 2011 Main Portfolio Area: KCC – Environment, Highways and Waste By: Head of Transport & Development, Kent Highway Services Classification: Unrestricted Ward: Dover Division : Sandwich Summary: The report summarises the proposal of altering the current speed limit on the A257. For Recommendation 1. Introduction 1.1 On behalf of Kent County Council (KCC), Kent Highway Services (KHS) are proposing the alteration of the speed limit on two sections of the A257. 1.2 A working party was organised locally which included representatives from local Parish Council and residents groups; MP’s Laura Sandys and Julian Brazier; County Councillor Leyland Ridings and District Councillors and was formed to discuss the impact traffic had on the Villages located on the A257 and surrounding roads. 1.3 Among other issues, all were concerned with the speed of traffic on the A257 and had related concerns regarding road safety. As a result of this KHS were asked to investigate the potential of lowering the speed limit on the A257. 1.4 KHS carries out a yearly examination of crash clusters on the County’s Roads. This is based on personal injury crash information supplied by Kent Police. The 2010 investigation did not reveal any recurring crash cluster sites along the length of the A257 that required action. 1.5 As the year progressed two sites developed that had several ‘damage only’ crashes: 1.5.1 On the approach to Wingham from the west (Bridge Bend), additional signing and lining improvements were organised for this location.

  • Landscape Assessment of Kent 2004
    CHILHAM: STOUR VALLEY Location map: CHILHAMCHARACTER AREA DESCRIPTION North of Bilting, the Stour Valley becomes increasingly enclosed. The rolling sides of the valley support large arable fields in the east, while sweeps of parkland belonging to Godmersham Park and Chilham Castle cover most of the western slopes. On either side of the valley, dense woodland dominate the skyline and a number of substantial shaws and plantations on the lower slopes reflect the importance of game cover in this area. On the valley bottom, the river is picked out in places by waterside alders and occasional willows. The railway line is obscured for much of its length by trees. STOUR VALLEY Chilham lies within the larger character area of the Stour Valley within the Kent Downs AONB. The Great Stour is the most easterly of the three rivers cutting through the Downs. Like the Darent and the Medway, it too provided an early access route into the heart of Kent and formed an ancient focus for settlement. Today the Stour Valley is highly valued for the quality of its landscape, especially by the considerable numbers of walkers who follow the Stour Valley Walk or the North Downs Way National Trail. Despite its proximity to both Canterbury and Ashford, the Stour Valley retains a strong rural identity. Enclosed by steep scarps on both sides, with dense woodlands on the upper slopes, the valley is dominated by intensively farmed arable fields interspersed by broad sweeps of mature parkland. Unusually, there are no electricity pylons cluttering the views across the valley. North of Bilting, the river flows through a narrow, pastoral floodplain, dotted with trees such as willow and alder and drained by small ditches.
