The cost isn't putting KCC off they see it as cheaper in the long run and environmentally sounder, helping them to comply with their carbon neutral rules or whatever they're called.
From KCC website..
A trial of an extra-strong resurfacing material is being carried out by Kent County Council to prevent potholes and cracks for longer.
Gipave, a graphene-enhanced asphalt, is being used in Dartford and is less likely to soften in the heat or harden and crack in colder temperatures.
If successful, it is hoped the durable material will be rolled out across the county , lowering the costs to the council for maintenance as well as reducing carbon emissions and the amount of disruption to road users

Seems to be a patience thing and look out for spikes from unexpected newsflow if you don't have the patience to hold?
