The following update has been received after a complaint was sent to KCC Highways and our Kent County Councillor representative Marc Logan - [email protected] ,

The Streetworks team have a team going to Skinney Lane today (Wednesday 18th February 2026) to close the road. They are then hoping to carry out permanent repairs works tomorrow or Friday. They have been unable to carry out any repairs here during the recent wet weather.

With regard to Horton Road, a highway steward will be revisiting this site later today, to arrange for any safety critical potholes which need immediate repair to be made safe. A job has been raised already for permanent repairs which are due to take place early in March 2026.

As the weather improves and the new contractor comes online in May we should start to see a significant improvement.
