End in sight for Road of Remembrance closure

The district council's contribution will help stabilise the cliff and reopen the vital link between The Leas and the harbour, which has been closed for over two years following a series of landslips that began in January 2024.

While Kent County Council holds primary responsibility for the route, the district council's financial offer has been accepted to help expedite a complex £5 million solution that is finally moving from the planning phase to the ground.

The breakthrough comes as the county council formally implemented an “executive decision” to proceed with the works.
