Your Parish Council has been working with KCC Highways to try to slow down traffic in Lynsted and Kingsdown.

 

Village gates have been installed in Kingsdown and we continue to negotiate for a 30mph speed limit here.

 

In Lynsted, 30mph repeater signs have been installed and 30mph roundels have been painted on the road from the A2 on the first bend after initial houses, at Cambridge Lane, at Hillbarn House, between Bogle Lane and Swedish Houses, between Swedish Houses and the school, and at The Vallance.

 

One of the new roundels and repeater signs can be viewed HERE

 

A “Pedestrians on Road” warning sign has been installed at HalfAcre House.

 

Another “Pedestrians on Road” sign should be installed early in 2023 by the New Graveyard.

 

Broken reflective bollards from the New Graveyard to Claxfield Lane have been reported and should be replaced in the New Year.

 

We are also negotiating with Kent County Council for a “rumble strip” before the Swedish Houses.

 

Further improvements being discussed are:

 

•  a 20mph speed limit between Swedish Houses and The Vallance

•  warning/painted lines “narrowing” the road from Toll Lane to the Lynsted village gate.
