Pot Holes
- 18 April 2008 17:341414A £1 Million crackdown on potholes across Kent has resulted in more than 5000 being filled in the past 2 weeks.
Kent County Council has vowed to repair every hole in the road that they are alerted to by the public this month.
It said it had already recieved a good public response,with the number of reports received five times higher than the normal level.
Councillor Keith Ferrin said emergency repairs should be done within 2 yes 2 hours and less serious within a month.

IF YOU HAVE GOT A POTHOLE PHONE NOW.If you knew what I know,we would both be in trouble! - 19 April 2008 08:351438Thanks for that info John.
Yes the potholes in Dover used to be atrocious when I first came and started riding my motorbike here, but I think things have improved since then. But jeez in those days ..honestly, the fillings would fall out of yer teeth trying to negotiate a ride around town. Rattle ,clatter, wallop...was the order of the day and it damages yer mechanical equipment. I am sure one could have a legal case against the Council as some of these motorbikes Ive had were expensive so-and-so's and were almost rattled to bits.
However I must say the new roads are looking fab down here. Fantastic to ride along and smooth as a billiard ball. The guys from the Highways Agency are doing a good job. Still loads of road closures last night too, but they are getting there...and the surface is majestic.
