51.190733 0.549186

Lay-by used as passing point used when meeting articulated lorries has a surface like the somme battlefield. Its a series of holes joined together with more holes. Totally unsafe for cars that have no where to go when meeting regular vehicles too large for the lane.

From hertsfield bridge,south to main road. broken road edges,particularly around alleged passing point/layby,that is a life saver should you meet an artic' coming towards you. You approved the fruit packing place,so at least you can maintain the approach roads that were never designed for such traffic.

Road sign obscured by foliage, 21st October

51.198561 0.596199

This was reported previously but unfortunately there is still a problem. We had a response to say it was dealt with, which was appreciated. We weren't in the area again until the weekend of 14/15 October and found it still not visible. The interpretation would be that the immediate area of the sign was improved but the branches of a conifer before the sign still make it impossible to see it until right at the junction.

The sign to Staplehurst is not really visible until the last minute, and then only with difficulty. We've missed our turning a number of times! A route we only use every few months so we need help via the road sign.

Ford Focus Ghia. Reg: AD06TBZ. Been left at the curbside outside number 8 South Lane, ME17 3AZ since last weekend (15/16th September 2012). Facing up the road and on the wrong side of the road. Also on a blind spot on the bend. Many cars have come along and had to screech to a halt to avoid it due to vehicles coming in the opposite direction. We have asked all the close neighbours and have not found out who this belongs to so have assumed it abandoned.
