Pedestrian underpass at Sandy Lane
Bean
Form Kent County Council Public Rights of Way Team. We have received a report via our Highways Department that the bollards that prevent vehicle access through the underpass at either end have been cut out to allow vehicle access (other similar infrastructure on the rest of the old Sandy Lane has also been removed). There are temporary temporary concrete Kelly blocks at one end, restricting access, so you may well be aware of this issue. We (the public rights of way team) have not received any complaints that this is causing an issue for walkers, so we are just passing on the report for action, if you wish. The report to us also referred to a lack of lighting in the underpass. Our team have no facilities for installing and maintaining lighting and the Highways Streetlighting Team will not install lights on public rights of way, so I am just passing this comment on in case you wished to consider installing lighting yourselves.

Missing signage - 2 years
23rd May
Junction works for the Bean interchange were completed over a year ago, but over road signage in 3 locations on B255 has never been replaced. Metal frames to hold signage and lane directions have been installed over the road, but no signage ever put back in. There are 3 sets of large overhead signs missing, which were reconstructed as part of the Bean interchange National Highways works completed 2 years ago.

Many of the new (and those old which weren’t replaced) lights aren’t working still
23rd May
Many new, and lots of remaining old, streetlights still now working after this junction and on the A2 between this junction and the Ebbsfleet junction going towards Kent. Its very dark and is very dark at the point where cars merge and cross lanes. So many accidents here already, this is not helping at night as its pitch black.

Large number of streetlights not working on the A2 at Swanscombe cutting but also beyond patches of road all the way past the Medway bridge .
14th January
I raised this issue back in November 2023.
I received an update that the LED replacement programme was in the design stage and the work should be completed by the end of 2024.
Well it's 2025 now so I wondered what the progress was?
It's such a busy stretch of road the swans come cutting that functioning lights are really needed in my view

The traffic light system doesn't work
15th October
The new roundabout at bluewater the traffic light system is set up wrong. They cause a back up onto the A2. The traffic coming up from bluewater will go and this cause a red light on the roundabout. As our lights are green we can only get 2 or 3 cars on and I causes congestion. The best the roundabout has flowed for everyone is when the lights were down there was no congestion.
