Road closure 11-13 March

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

If travelling from Tenterden, we’d suggest going via Rolvenden and Benenden village, following New Pond Road and then turning right opposite Benenden School into Goddard's Green Road.

If travelling from Ashford, either head towards Tenterden and follow the directions above – or alternatively, head towards Biddenden, then follow Cranbrook Road to the Golford Crossroads, left into Golford Road and left opposite Benenden School into Goddards Green Road.
