Pot Holes & Gullies
- 31 December 2010 13:0486950More snow and now we have more pot holes.
Kent Highway Service have extra teams out and about fixing them so if you come across any in your travels please report them
Blocked gullies are also a problem so they too need reporting - I reported over 100 in the Autumn noticed when walking round town area - I know at least one of you caught me starring down a gully in the Market Square.
Report, giving exact position - i.e. Outside no 131 Pencester Road, Dover to Kent Highway Services 08458 247 800 or www.kent.gov.uk/highways
Any undue delay or problems please let me know on my direct Email address - nigel.collor@kent.gov.uk - 31 December 2010 13:0886951thanks for info nigel, i read that k.c.c. had employed extra people to attend to the potholes, i think the problem will get worse with the forecast bad winter.
you mention undue delays, is there some sort of timescale people can work on so that they know when a blocked gully should be cleared? - 31 December 2010 13:1386954Agree Howard - there was a nasty one in Queen Street outside the Flotilla and they fixed that very quickly - I usually give them a couple of weeks or so.
When you make a report you get a reference number that, if push comes to shove, I can check through 'My Kent Highways' that I have access to but it is not a quick website to use remotely - 31 December 2010 17:5587003There must be many thousands of pot-holes for them to fix, especially if every one is reporting them. I'll have to walk and take a notebook.
Nigel, do you know if the service road by the Dover Eurochange/Light of India and County Hotel is a private road or public highway ?
Roger - 31 December 2010 18:2987017i am sure that is a public highway, there is/was a seat and a bin provided by ddc there.
- 31 December 2010 18:4087025It has more pot-holes than any other short stretch of road in Dover and urgently needs attention.

31 December 2010 20:3887077Can I have a grumble about pavements
. The one from Crafford Street to Ladywell was awful last time I walked along there, an almost continuous series of holes and gullies.-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
------------------------------------------------------------------- - 31 December 2010 22:1087094last time I reported 10 large pot holes nothing done for 3 months most of town wall st is full of pot holes how many more thousands is it going to take to put it right.get real road builders in and not cowboys to little tarmac that breaks up to easily should be thicker.
