Bearsted Road Works

/in /by

KCC has informed parish councils that the work to widen the Bearsted Road by the Vinters Park Crematorium is being put on hold. As many will know, KCC is facing significant financial challenges, and although S106 monies from housing developments was previously allocated to this scheme, delays in appointing contractors and commencing works have caused the overall project costs to increase. This has resulted in a significant shortfall in funding available to complete the scheme, and until this shortfall can be addressed, works are being stopped.

We are incredibly disappointed about this situation, but as this is a matter for KCC Highways, we advise residents to contact our County Councillor, Sir Paul Carter, if they require further  information.
