Kent Highways Update on Folkestone and Sandgate gritting after snow

4.39.25pm GMT Fri 12th Feb 2010

Kent Highways have responded to Lib Dem Kent County Councillor Tim Prater with an update on snow clearance and salt bin refilling across Folkestone and Sandgate.

Kent Highways say:

"We currently have a gang going round refilling all the salt bins on a regular basis.

"Now that the primary and secondary routes have been cleared we are beginning to deal with the roads in other areas. We have just had an update to say that gritting to the High Street footways in Folkestone and Sandgate are complete along with other localised spot salting.

"We will have crews working over the weekend with a view to dealing with as many areas as possible by Monday morning."

Tim Prater commented:

"I'm pleased that Kent Highways are starting to get to grips with the roads and pavements across Folkestone and Sandgate.

"However, I have already contacted KHS back on one point. I live on Sandgate High Street. I am looking at it now. I walked down it just 45 minutes ago. The pavements have certainly not been gritted. I am concerned that the information getting back to Kent Highways in Ashford isn't reflecting the real position on the ground."
