    The Lower road has been closed off for through traffic for a few days so that emergency work can be undertaken, according to paperwork it is supposed to be two-way traffic lights, not actually a road closure.


    This is obviously making Minster and Chequers Road route into Eastchurch very very busy, to compound the problems, Southern water have decided to undertake some repairs and maintenance on Chequers Road, very close to Plough Road, this is now causing serious delays for vehicles travelling between Eastchurch and Minster, as a result the traffic that usually uses the Lower Road or Chequers Road is diverting up Plough Road which is really not designed for the amount of traffic attempting to use it.


    Neil, has rung Kent Highways to try and find out what idiot allows both main roads to Eastchurch to be dug up, his conversation with a them is here below.

    For many people who use a wheelchair, a simple task such as going shopping or to a Dr's appointment is a nightmare, bus services on the island are patchy at best, and the only other option would be to book a taxi and ensure there was enough space in the boot of the car for the wheel chair, and ask for assistance to get out of the chair and into the vehicle, and that’s assuming they can transfer, these sort of obstacles can take away peoples independence, if your wheelchair bound, then the anchors are well laid into the ground preventing users from getting out and enjoying the area!

    From day one that has been something Neil and Jan have wanted to change and something they have acted on, as a result iCars have several vehicles available to customers, and since they have come into use we have a legion of delighted customers, we have eliminated the indignity of transferring a customer from their chair into a car, now the car pulls up the ramp slides out and in you go, travelling in your own chair, and there is no extra charge for this service!
