Building Better Roads: Highway Improvement Plans and Implementation in North Willesborough

Smooth and safe roads are vital for every community. In North Willesborough, ongoing highway improvements are aimed at enhancing road safety, reducing congestion, and improving the daily commute for residents.

Through close collaboration with Kent County Council Highways and Ashford Borough Council, the North Willesborough Community Forum (NWCF) ensures that resident feedback shapes the priorities for local transport infrastructure.

What’s Happening?

• 🚧 Resurfacing Key Roads: Critical routes have been identified for resurfacing to reduce potholes and wear.

• 🚦 Upgrading Traffic Systems: Signal timings are being adjusted to improve peak-time flow.

• 🚶 Pedestrian Safety Projects: New crossings and better lighting are being introduced near schools and busy junctions.

• ♿ Accessibility Enhancements: Ramps and curb drops are being expanded for mobility aid users.

Resident Involvement:

Your input drives our focus. In past months, feedback from NWCF members directly led to re-evaluation of junction designs and additional safety barriers being installed in accident-prone areas.

What’s Next:

Phase 2 of the plan includes new signage, bike lane extensions, and drainage upgrades to prevent flooding during heavy rainfall.

At NWCF, we’re committed to transparent communication and timely updates as each stage progresses.
