Find progress to date below. Full details are available by visiting the meeting links at each stage.

November 2022

A list of requests at 32 locations (the maximum number that can be addressed within available staff resources) was recommended for consideration in Phase 14 to borough councillors at the 21 November 2022 Joint Transportation Board (JTB) meeting. They decided that those locations would be taken forward for investigation and informal consultation.

One location did not proceed to informal consultation (44-46 Woodbury Road, Walderslade), as after investigation it was not supported.

See Decision of JTB on 21 November 2022

May/June 2023

At the June 2023 meeting of the JTB it was agreed that the proposals for ‘The Lakes & Reed Close’ should be combined with wider proposals for The Lakes.

Informal consultation took place on 31 locations from 19 May to 11 June 2023. During this stage of consultation, we asked for the views of the immediate residents and businesses in the area.

Responses to the informal consultation were reported to borough councillors of the JTB on 18 September 2023. Where they made the following decisions:

  • the recommendations for each location be adopted and where appropriate the proposals be taken forward to formal consultation
  • Members views were sought on West Street, Wrotham and agreed that this be taken forward to formal consultation
