Somerset Road Highway Improvements

Kent Highway Services have confirmed that they will be replacing the existing "speed cushions" in Somerset Road, Cheriton, with new pre-cast concrete speed cushions. The works will take up to 4 weeks, starting week commencing 4 June. The alterations are planned to reduce the risk of vehicles undercarriage hitting the speed cushions.

Somerset Road (which runs between Shaftesbury Avenue and Cheriton High Street) will be closed except for vehicle access to properties during the works (pedestrian access should be unaffected), and on-street parking will be suspended in the area that the works are taking place.

If you have any questions regarding this work, contact Kent Highways Services 24 hotline on 08458 247800 quoted Project Reference EK0221.
