Thanet Star - actively improving Thanet one idea at a time

Fixed and improved.

Along with the improvements to the road surfaces that I triggered I can also happily report that a certain road sign has also been repaired.

Now if I can get some attention to the rather deadly corner as well I shall be most pleased.

When I complained to KCC about the potholes in the roads near to where I live I expected that they would send someone out to fill them (which they did most promptly). What I didn't expect is that they would come back and reserfice all the roads.

I think we can call that one an added success.
