Traffic Marshals remain in place to control entry and exit traffic to Porters Lane, Plumford Road and Old Badgins Road. Passes have been issued to residents of those roads to allow access into their properties. These passes can now also be used to exit the A251 in one direction only towards Faversham, as there is currently enough road space to pass safely. The area of closure has had to be extended and from 7am this morning (4 September) there will be an additional full closure set up at the junction of Dayton Road. Passes will need to be shown at this point. To protect the safety of everyone within the work area, please remember that it is essential to drive through the work area slowly with hazard lights on.

Have your say about the waste collection

Published: 3 Sep 24

Swale Borough Council wants local people to share their views about the rollout of the new waste and street cleansing contract. The council is carrying out a review into the contract with Suez, which began in March, and is looking at a range of issues related to the start of the new contract, including resources, staffing, data, rounds, contract management, and communications. To make sure people can give their experiences of the move to a new contract, a survey has been launched https://swale.gov.uk/waste-contract-survey to get insights into the preparations for the change and experiences following the rollout. As well as the survey, the council is carrying out workshops with council officers and Suez representatives, consulting with area committees and parish councils. The public survey will close at 11:59pm on Wednesday 2 October. The review is expected to complete its report in November, with a report presented to the Environment and Climate Change Committee.

Latest news on the A251 road closure

Published: 2 Sep 24

190m of pipe was installed last week and 13 services were renewed or upgraded along the A251 near its junction with Lees Court Road. The work and reinstatement is expected to move south of this junction towards the end of the week. This will enable Sheldwich and North Street residents' to get to and from Faversham along the A251. The works are on schedule and the pipes in Lees Court Road can be upgraded without requiring a road closure, and will be using a 'give and take' instead. Ahead of the new school term starting, traffic will be monitored and further controls introduced if necessary. The school bus service will have permission to travel along the A251 while the upgrades continue, subject to no unexpected engineering issues being encountered. Stagecoach have confirmed that there will be two buses in the morning and one in the afternoon. Please check the Stagecoach website for timings of these services. Read More...
