Temporary 40mph limit on Rolvenden Road and Dingleden, Benenden, for Openreach pole works from 1 September 2026

Benenden Parish Council has announced the introduction of a temporary speed limit on Rolvenden Road and Dingleden, effective from 1 September 2026. This measure will see the current speed limit of 60mph reduced to 40mph for the duration of essential maintenance works being carried out by Openreach, which will involve replacing telegraph poles and rehanging associated cables.

The decision to implement this temporary speed restriction is primarily aimed at ensuring the safety of both the public and the workforce involved in these operations.

Residents and motorists travelling through these areas can expect to see appropriate signage erected to inform them of the changes.
