Bad news that the doubling of the A21 between Tonbridge and Pembury is to be delayed. The accident record on this stretch of road is one long litany of death and serious injury.
Delays at the roundabout where roads lead off the A21 to the new hospital and the industrial estate/retail park are set to increase. It beggars belief that two of the major roads leading to the hospital are not to be upgraded (the other being Colts Hill).
As expected, Hazel Dawe of the Green Party has welcomed this delay and spoken again of the need for better bus services. She is living in cloud cuckoo land if she believes public transport will meet the transport needs of this area. Yes, by all means improve road and rail services, but there is an ongoing need for private transport and the eradication of bottlenecks and accident hot spots.
