The manhole on the carriageway towards to M20 is just on top of the raised bridge section of the road. It's been repaired many times where it has sunk, now there is water leaking from it onto the carriageway. Cars driving over it are spraying water from it over the cars behind and there is a clear trail of water from the traffic going over it. This has been like this for a few weeks now, clearlynthecdrain is blocked and needs cleaning before there is more rain and it gets dangerous

STILL awaiting South East Water (apparently KCC made an error previously) to 'bother' to repair this dangerous stretch of road
