Reported By: Tom Morton

Whilst out riding round the country lanes around Ashford I came across the defects featured in the below photos. Images 459 & 460 were taken in Eitchden Lane, Great Chart map ref 966428. Images 461 & 463 were taken at the junction of Coldblow with Shadoxhurst Road map ref 952361 and show the gravel that has been dragged into the junction mouth from Shadoxhurst Road. in places this loose gravel is 2cm deep and on the line for 2 wheeled vehicles turning into and out of the junction. Image 466 was taken in Birchett Lane, Bromley Green about map ref 980350. Images 468 & 469 were taken in Highfield Land, Bliby near map ref 027374, north bound. Beyond this location the road surface is very broken and in need of repair. I reported this same defect over 12 months ago and it has not been touched. The defect in the photo is several metres long about 20cm width and 6 - 10 cm deep.

Good News! most of these defects were repaired within a week of this report being sent in. However, some took a little longer!

Bad news!!
The recent bad weather has resulted in most of these defects opening up again. The roads in these areas are just as bad as they used to be. Keep a close eye open for pot holes and report them to the local authority ASAP. They need us to contact them as soon as we notice any issues with the roads
