This vehicle has been there for over a week and is probably beyond economic repair to judge from the age of the vehicle and the nature of the breakdown.

Ongoing water leak. Water company mended a water leak about 20m away this week, but ignored this one. Why didn’t they do both leaks at the same time to avoid yet more roadworks, road closure and traffic lights?

Depression on road, 4th October

Fri, 04 Oct 2019 11:52:04 +0100
51.153178 0.697975

This depression has got substantially worse over the past 3 weeks, not helped no doubt by the dozens of trucks going to the nearby building site. I reported it 28/9/2019 KCC ref 453842. Today received a call on answerphone from avies at KCC saying it will not be repaired until some other works along the road have been completed, and this may not be until the end of November. The depression is serious and currently people have to swerve onto the other side of the road to avoid vehicle damage. Phoned KCC and nice lady but got nowhere with this.

Deep hole approx 30 cm across, on bend, 26th June

Wed, 26 Jun 2019 08:09:12 +0100
51.140464 0.688813

I have been driving this route since Feb 2019, this hole with many others have been there well before then. In fact the white paint that this hole (and many others) are marked with is nearly worn away! This particular one is hard to avoid as it is in such a place that you have to drive into it to avoid on coming traffic. Not funny.

Many holes in centre of road, 8th February

Thu, 08 Feb 2018 16:52:09 +0000
51.154049 0.70909

These holes have been there for at least 2 years and have been reported to KCC who say they don't meet the criteria for repair. This is totally unacceptable as everyone has to swerve over the road to miss them. Maybe when there has been an RTA at this location something will get done. It's outside Tolhurst Farm

Bridge over the main line railway service between Headcorn and Ashford on the Pluckley Road. Both approach and departure ramps in both directions needs remedial work ASAP. In particular the ramp from Pluckley to Smarden has subsided to the side severely enough two throw a truck off balance I have noted that the driver's who know this road stay dead in the road Centre effectively blocking the road the road centre effectively blocking the road and increasing the liability of an accident greatly
