Shepway Roads Scheduled for Resurfacing Works

A number of roads in Sandgate, Cheriton, East Folkestone, Hythe, New Romney and Lydd have been scheduled by Kent Highway Services for "Micro-Surfacing". It is anticipated that all works will be undertaken from the last week in April to the second week in May.

The resurfacing is effectively a surface dressing means spraying a road with a coating of hot bitumen and then covering it with stone chippings. The chippings are rolled into the bitumen to form a water-resistant, protective layer, which makes the road less slippery.
