Kent Highways have responded to Lib Dem Kent County Councillor Tim Prater with an update on snow clearance and salt bin refilling across Folkestone and Sandgate.
Folkestone West County Councillor, Tim Prater, has put a question to Kent County Council: "Will the Cabinet Member for Environment, Highways and Waste confirm that Kent Police had contacted KCC them to get the roads treated and that the response by Kent Highways to the snowfall on 10th / 11th February in Folkestone and surrounding areas was totally inadequate, leading to even main roads being completely impassable, cars being abandoned and road accidents."
Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Candidate for Folkestone & Hythe, Lynne Beaumont, has launched a scathing attack on Kent Highways for the lack of action which led to roads across Folkestone and Hythe being impassable due to snow in the last 24 hours.
