I had a similar conversation with him.
It's the same guy who assured parish and town councillors that closing the laybys on the A2 bypass wouldn't cause a problem with lorries parking elsewhere as there would only be 3 places lost in each of the 4 laybys and the lorries would simply move on to Canterbury - we knew that lorries park all over the laybys and access lanes so you sometimes get 7 or 8 in each layby, and they would simply look for free parking anywhere nearby, which they now do causing immense problems in the villages which Highways England know about but do little to help.
Rant over on that one - he told me also that when DHB sense they need to switch TAP on they phone Highways England for permission, then if they get it they send someone (not necessarily a highly skilled technician as Bob Frost says but just someone with a finger) with a key to the roadside cabinet to push a button. When I pointed out that is 19th Century technology and asked haven't they got anything better he walked away without saying anything.
