Kent Highways is facing renewed calls from fed up drivers to take urgent action and fix one of the Island’s busiest roads.

Now the KCC department says it is carrying out a survey of The Broadway in Minster, which has been described as “like a bomb site”, “atrocious” and “horrific”.

But no decision on what will be done to fix the crumbling surface will be made until the report is published in July.

Peter Firth, of Marian Avenue, Minster, said what has been done so far is a waste of time and money.

The 57-year-old said: “They are just doing bits and pieces. The whole road needs doing. They are wasting tax payers’ money on a bodge job instead of doing it properly.

“It’s a terrible road – the worst on the Island. Diabolical.”

A spokesman for Kent Highways was unable to give a timescale for when any further work will be done because the nature of the repairs will depend on the contents of the report.

Last month we reported how Minster resident John Freeman said The Broadway is the worst stretch on Sheppey for potholes and a crumbling surface.

Since then, minor repairs have been carried out but they are being slammed as a waste of time and money because locals claim what’s needed is full resurfacing.

Once the report is produced next month, a plan will be drawn-up to “ensure the best use of tax payers’ money” and what can be done to mend it.

Islanders have taken to the Times Guardian Facebook page to complain.

Anwen Wicketts said: “It’s in a horrific condition and is in constant use. It needs to be done properly not just patched up here and there.”

Robert Back said: “The road surface outside the Abbey Hotel is the poorest I have ever seen. One of the main reasons the roads on Sheppey are so poor is that years of previous repairs are of inferior quality.”

Lucy Brown said: “It’s like a bomb site.”

Rowena Hoult said: “It’s in an atrocious state. The potholes are unavoidable and need a damn sight more than patching up.”

A Kent Highways spokesman said: “The survey involves a series of investigations, such as coring samples and ground radar surveys that will give us a full picture of the condition of the road base and its strength.

“In the meantime, our maintenance gangs are out repairing safety-related problems.”
