Description

Kent County Council is seeking to commission a Contractor to deliver surface repairs to a Byway, which is part of the North Downs Way National Trail. The path is located in Chilham, Ashford.
In recent years the surface of the Byway has become significantly rutted, with loose flints and stones dispersed throughout, and at sections, the underlying native chalk substrate exposed, a consequence of heavy rainfall and the flow of surface water combined with the gradient of the path.
Frequent pedestrian, cycle and equestrian traffic along this section of the Byway, as well as its current condition prevent it from recovering and continued use by these groups will cause it to deteriorate further and inhibit use from this range of user groups both during dry and wet weather.
The intention is to create a planer path with a slight crossfall to steer and allow surface water to run off the path into adjacent woodland. Where there is woodland or drainage ditches on either side of the path, a cambered surface on the Byway is proposed.
