KCC promises to review Cranborne Avenue closure at Wheatsheaf pub in Maidstone after residents raise fears at meeting organised by Helen Grant MP

Loose Road

Congestion on Loose Road is one of the primary issues concerning constituents in south Maidstone. The closure of Cranborne Avenue exacerbates the existing bottleneck, while simultaneously making the junction more dangerous.

KCC has now agreed to review the closure of Cranborne Avenue, instead of declaring it a permanent change, and will be reporting back at a second meeting in September on their broader plans to tackle congestion in the locality.
