KCC Highways is that it?

Contractors responsible for creating new pavement areas and speed bumps for Margate's diminishing visitors, have apparently shown little haste in completeing works around Margates, Old Town until now, however looks as if whoevers been working there recently left in a hurry.


Just like Thanets greatest living Millionaire I thought I would take trawl round Margate since reading (Monday) Eastcliffes Richard's riveting account of an afternoon snooping around the north of the Isle.


I was surprised to read in ECR's report on Monday how forgotten speed humps were being put in place, a quick tour of the area yesterday afternoon showed that these lumps are now in place, but I guess we haven't seen the last of the work in this area since there appears to be a lot of debris left lying around, some of which, like the paving slab left out surely cannot be right. Still presumably Kent Highways know what their doing, still maybe next time they could at least insist that contractors tidy up when they've finished?

Why didn't the contractors have time to tidy up after finishing work?

  2. Could it have been they were told to finish and clear out before KCC's Cabinet came to visit?
    What a waste of time and money that was!
