Yep if you mean the bit going towards Tonbridge... best bit of tarmac in the county, shame there's only a few hundred metres of it..!!!

Mind you if you head the other way out of Hadlow towards the Maidstone/West Malling roundabout the road has some nice fast sweepers and reasonable surface,,, just watchout for mud and crap left by the dozy sods on tractors...

Default Re: kent roads

I had a pothole that was right at the junction near my office and I noticed the road team making some yellow markings of where to get fixed. So I took the liberty of getting some spray and boxing the pothole in the junction. they fixed it the following day, hooray. Lets all go and yellow mark all the problems, but not be silly. It must be in keeping with the way they mark the roads out for repair.

It works I tell you, it really works.
