  1. Motorbikes go too fast I have started to cross the road many times and all clear nothing in site suddenly they are there and don’t have time to stop.

  2. Who said the motorcycle, or speed were the cause of the accident. Don’t assume, unless you know all the facts.

    If you witnessed this incident, then contact the police.

  3. I hope the lady recovers soon. We hear all this talk about “ Levelling up“ it’s about time that Kent was levelled up and had its own major trauma unit instead of patients with serious injuries being taken to London hospitals. Kent is well backward I noticed even the nearest magistrate court to Thanet now is in Folkestone even the stroke unit being moved from QEQM to William Harvey hospital in ASFORD. What do our MPs have to say about it.?????

    • Bill the MPs have to “think” about everything and they cannot “think” until after the met have investigated . All takes time while they line their own pockets.
      We cannot afford a stroke unit at QUEM we have to pay for the new train station that they still “thinking about it”.

  4. you will hear plenty from them when they want your vote , they are getting twitchy about losing thier over paid cushy jobs now.

  5. OK PIN BACK YOU EARS! THIS ARTICULE HAS BEEN PUT OUT FOR ANY INFORMATION REGARDING THE COLLISION AT WESTBROOK WHICH LEFT AN ELDERLY LADY IN A CRITICAL CONDITION. NOT FOR PEOPLE TO VIEW THEIR POLITICAL GRUDGES. RANT OVER .

    • Oh Silly Jerry, I thought it was because your caps lock had got stuck.

      I think we can all read, and know what the article is about.
