You have planted whips in alongside your new junction in grass, 24th March
If you look at the welcome page of my website www.ivydenegardens.co.uk, you will see that planting trees or any other vegetation in grass, that they will not survive because the grass takes all the rain and any nutrients you put on top and the dry ground leaves no water for the trees. why do all roadworks, local authorities continue to waste money in planting trees this way. do you not recognise that plants need water? You have probably planted these trees within the last month

Litter on A249 and M2, 29th February
I have travelled on these roads for the past 42-years and I have never seen the litter situation as bad as it is now. It gets worse week after week. ITS NOW A DISGRACE! There is even plastic wrap “growing” in the trees now and hundreds of clear plastic drinking bottles that appear to be filled with urine! Is there an actual plan to clear up Kent and if so what is it and when is it going to start. Day after day I sit in traffic jams on the A249, M2 or one of the roads off the A249 into Sittingbourne, during the current roadworks and road closures why are you not taking the opportunity to clear the litter and keep it clear!

There are quite a few potholes now and you are having to swerve to avoid damaging your car., 22nd July
It has been reported but nothing seems to have changed. I could not take a picture as I am in my car and it would not be safe to do so. Maybe one of your staff can have a look for you and recommend some repairs to be carried out. The motorist does pay road tax and maybe it should be spent on repairing the roads.

Traffic queing in live lanes and using hard shoulder, 17th May
Recent changes to the J5 roadworks off the carriageway have caused traffic to queue on live lanes of the M2 where no speed restrictions are in place. Today users were queueing down the hard shoulder well in advance of the junction and so exiting the motorway at the junction was impossible to do safely.

Huge amounts of rubbish on verges, 2nd April
I contacted you months ago regarding the huge amounts of rubbish (inc tyres, car bumpers etc) everywhere from A249 going onto the M2 Junction 5 Sittingbourne to Bexley in both directions. Nothing has happened despite actions being promised. Parts of the M2 have not been litter picked for years. Its a National embarrassment which friends of ours who stayed with us from France, could not believe. They said England is the dirtiest country in Europe now which it never used to be the case. You are paid to keep the main highways clean and tidy but feel you are not doing the job. The local MP in Swale, Gordon Henderson is aware of this and even he cannot prompt any action. PLEASE CLEAN THIS SMALL PART OF KENT UP. Thanks
