    The two routes below have been identified by the DfT as the highest risk of fatal or serious collisions in Kent based on analysis between 2012 and 2014.

     

    ·         A252 between Charing and Chilham

    ·         A290 between Canterbury and Whitstable

    Consultees

    At this stage no formal consultation has taken place although the transport intelligence scheme and the Schemes Planning & Delivery team have engaged with an active member of Chilham Parish Council and both District Mangers to understand potential maintenance implications of any proposed interventions.

     

    This was considered and endorsed by The Environment and Transport Cabinet Committee on 21 September 2017.

    Financial implications: The funding is 100% capital grant, if successful with the bid, officer time will be required to design and deliver the schemes and there may be an implication on future maintenance requirements (if the scheme includes new safety barriers for example).

    Legal implications: None

    Equalities implications: An EQIA Screening will be prepared with the bid submission, by the 29th September 2017.
