Faded signs, uncut verges, litter, graffiti, damaged kerbs and conflicting signs: Shellons Street Car Park in Folkestone

A recent spot check on a Folkestone Town Centre car park confirms the decline in our area. Shellons Street car park near Guildhall Street was selected at random, but the check revealed at least seven major issues with the state of the car park, from litter to graffiti, uncut verges to damaged kerbs.

The full survey revealed:

Graffiti on walls and signs
Litter dating back days and weeks in places
Damaged, faded and missing sign
Broken kerbs a risk to drivers and pedestrians

Damaged kerbs
Weeds and verges growing out of control
Conflicting and inaccurate signs
AND some of the most expensive parking in Kent

Litter and rubbish strewn across the car park

Local Lib Dem Leader Lynne Beaumont is furious about the current dirty and unkempt state of Folkestone:

"Grot-Spots like this can be found across Folkestone.

"Local people are being let down by Tory and People First run Shepway Council. Many residents are furious the Council seem to be letting the town rot."
