More evidence required on A229 Bluebell Hill upgrade options - say Medway Liberal Democrats

The KCC consultation on the upgrade options for the A229 at Bluebell Hill, to address increased traffic flow triggered by the future opening of the Lower Thames Crossing, were not sufficiently progressed. All options presented had significant shortcomings. Both Medway and Maidstone Lib Dem groups have responded to the consultation by saying the proposals lack evidence and may mean that they do not go far enough. Supporting evidence for the changes is vital in order to secure the backing of both communities for the major changes required.
