The group is expected to start work soon and if you are interested in joining them, to help maintain the best of our village, please contact the parish office on 01959 524808. Further volunteers are also needed to join the Emergency Team who assist with any village problems that arise such as rising river water and flooding. If you can help please contact the parish office. The Parish office has two reports available. One concerns the proposed changes to the M25 and the other the proposed airport at Cliffe. The changes to the M25 in Kent involve widening it to four lanes, except between the M20 and the Sevenoaks junctions, and other works deemed essential if motorway journeys are not to become slower and less reliable. The PCC has commented on both reports stating the problems associated with the proposals.
