Road closure 12-16 January

Due to roadworks, part of Goddard's Green Road near the hospital will be closed between the junction with Mockbeggar Lane and just beyond the junction with Jackson Way. This will affect access for anyone travelling in from an easterly Ashford/Tenterden direction.

  • If travelling from Ashford direction, we would advise heading towards Biddenden, following Cranbrook Road to the Golford crossroads, left into Golford Road and left opposite Benenden School into Goddards Green Road
  • If travelling from Tenterden and surrounds, we’d suggest going via Rolvenden and Benenden village, following New Pond Road and then turning right opposite Benenden School into Goddards Green Road
