Enforcement Team Quarterly Update (Oct- December) the Stats Enforcement Team Quarterly Update (Oct- December) The stats: PCNs Month On Street Off Street October 2,243 820 November 2,212 568 December 1,519 431 Civil Enforcement Officers continue to patrol the streets regularly despite the lockdown. Their aim is to keep traffic flowing. Fixed Penalty Notices (FPNs) The issuing of FPNs has been affected by the latest lockdown which has made offenders a little more reluctant to move around the district, staff testing positive for Covid-19 or needing to isolate and the fact we have five new officers in training. Number issued since April FPN offence Failure Authority Transport 1 x £300 each = £300 Waste Failure to comply with PSPO 2 x £100 each = £200 Failure Produce Waste Document 4 x £300 each = £1,200 Flytipping 9 x £400 each = £3,600 Householders Duty of Care 1 x £300 each = £300 5 x £150 each = £750 Deposit Littering 3 x £100 each= £300 Litter from vehicle Total = £6,650 Lorry clamping Problems with illegal parking by foreign lorry drivers and occasional antisocial behaviour are well publicised. Our Civil Enforcement Officers continue to issue fines but are now being supported by contractors from Kent County Council following an increase in their powers allowing them to clamp lorries in preparation of the end of the EU transition period. The trial will last for six months. Initially, lorry drivers were alerted to the scheme and advised on where they could park legally. Between 11 January and 20 January, a total of 24 lorries have been clamped in the district. Since then, the amount of illegal parking by HGVs has dropped dramatically. We are alerting KCC to problem locations. https://countryeye.co.uk/ https://www.kent.gov.uk/about-the-council/uk-has-left-the-european-union/travel-and-transpo rt/hgv-parking-ban-scheme Environmental Crime Team successes The Environmental Crime Team has chalked up the following successes: ● Two different residents were issued FPNs of £150 each for depositing litter in Cotton Road Wincheap and St George’s Street Canterbury, respectively ● The latter individual received their penalty after they were issued a parking ticket. They were then observed by a Parking Officer to rip up the parking ticket and throw it on the ground. They were identified through vehicle checks. Officers then visited his home address and issued the Fixed Penalty for littering ● A man from Ramsgate has been issued a FPN of £400 following an investigation into a fly tip that took place in Reynolds Farm Road, Whitstable in August 2020. A witness reported seeing the fly tip in progress. Officers corroborated the witness’s account when they secured GPS tracker evidence from the vehicle that had been used to fly tip the waste. The GPS record showed that the vehicle was in Reynolds Farm Road at the time the witness observed the fly tip taking place. The vehicle was subsequently linked to the man in Ramsgate. ● A man from Herne Bay has been issued a FPN of £300 for failing in his duty of care in respect of waste being removed from his property. He paid £20 to two unknown people to remove three black bags of household waste. The waste was then fly tipped in Owls Hatch Road, Herne Bay. Officers secured evidence and linked the waste back to an address in Herne Bay. ● A man from Faversham was issued a FPN of £300 after failing to keep records of controlled waste transfers. Enforcement Officers and Kent Police stopped the man in a truck conveying various controlled waste materials and the driver was unable to produce any records relating to the origins of the waste. ● A man from Canterbury was also issued a FPN of £300 after Enforcement Officers and Kent Police stopped his vehicle. The vehicle contained various controlled waste items. The male was unable to produce documents showing the origin of the waste. He was issued a further Fixed Penalty Notice, also for £300, for failing to produce an Environment Agency licence permitting him to transport controlled waste. ● In June, Enforcement Officers attended a fly tip of waste in Lime Kiln Road Canterbury. An investigation ensued and the waste was eventually traced to two women living in London. When presented with the evidence secured by officers both parties admitted the offence of fly tipping. Both were issued a FPN of £400. ● A man from Whitstable was stopped by Kent Police and Enforcement Officers in Whitstable. On examining the vehicle it was found to contain controlled waste. The male was served with a formal notice requiring him to produce paperwork relating to the waste. He failed to produce such documents and he has subsequently been issued a FPN of £300. ● A man from Herne Bay has been issued a warning notice for making unnecessary noise by operating heavy plant machinery late into the evening/night time, causing a nuisance to residents. The warning was ignored and this has now led to planning enforcement issuing a notice preventing any further activity on the site on the outskirts of Canterbury. ● Canterbury City Council was successful in securing an injunction against an female resident of Canterbury in relation to antisocial behaviour. Despite many written warnings and interventions by the police and Enforcement Officers, she continued to cause a significant nuisance around the Canterbury area leading to numerous complaints. Since the injunction was issued the individual has been arrested for breaching the injunction and will now appear in court for this breach in due course. ● The owner of a Canterbury property, who lives in North Yorkshire has been issued with a FPN of £100 for failing to secure land to prevent fly tipping and for failing to maintain the property to a safe and acceptable standard. Enforcement Officers had corresponded with the owner on three separate occasions to try and resolve the matter but the owner failed to respond. ● A man from Herne Bay has been issued a FPN for £400 for fly tipping on land off May Street, Herne Bay. This followed an investigation by Enforcement Officers into a fly tip of bricks. ● A man from Faversham has been issued FPNs totalling £600 after he was discovered transporting controlled waste without a licence and for failing to produce documentation showing the origin of the waste ● The registered keeper of a vehicle was issued a FPN for £150 after an Enforcement Officer observed litter being deposited from the vehicle in Reculver Road near Whitstable. ● The registered keeper of a vehicle was issued a FPN for £150 after an Enforcement Officer observed litter being thrown from the vehicle in Tourtel Road, Canterbury. ● A Herne Bay resident was issued with a caution after admitting to a failure of duty of care in respect of their household waste. The resident paid an unknown individual to remove waste from their property. The waste was subsequently fly tipped in a neighbouring street.The resident incurred a further financial charge after they paid to have the fly tip cleared by a licensed waste carrier. ● A resident of Canterbury who has been involved in regular anti-social behaviour was issued formal warning notices by council Enforcement Officers. The resident failed to abide by the terms of the notices and was subsequently arrested on two separate occasions, for breaching the requirements of the notices. The matter will now be passed to the magistrates to decide on the outcome of this case. ● A woman from Canterbury has been issued a FPN for £100 for allowing significant waste to accumulate in the front garden of their property in Canterbury. This was causing an unsightly nuisance and smell to neighbours as well as attracting pests. Enforcement Officers were alerted to the problem in June 2020. However, despite verbal requests and written warnings, The resident is still required to clear the waste and the council will review the situation shortly and will take further steps if the matter is not resolved. ● A Canterbury man has been issued with a FPN of £300 for failing to produce waste transfer documents relating to the transfer of waste collected from domestic premises in the area. Some of the waste was fly tipped in the countryside on the outskirts of Canterbury. Enforcement Officers are continuing their enquiries into the fly tipping offences. ● Enforcement Officers have issued several written warnings to individuals in Canterbury city centre for antisocial behaviour. This is an ongoing issue and officers will continue to work with Kent Police and other agencies to deal with unacceptable behaviour. ● A total of 57 separate households have been issued with notices in respect of household waste issues such as blocking footways with bins ● Officers instigated an investigation in November 2020 into a significant fly tip of builders waste in Pennypot Lane, Chartham. Enquiries into the origin of the waste led to a man from a business in Margate. He was issued a FPN for £300 for failing in his duty of care in respect of business waste. In addition to this offence, another man from Chartham was identified as the person who collected the waste from the business in Margate. This man has been issued with FPNs totalling £900 for failing to hold a waste carriers licence, failing to produce waste transfer documents, failing in his duty of care in respect of waste that was under his control and, for passing the waste on to another unlicensed person to dispose of. The investigation is continuing into the person who actually fly tipped the waste. They have been identified and efforts are now being made to trace this individual.

  • The Population of Chartham from 1086 to 1600
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society THE POPULATION OF CHARTHAM FROM 1086 TO 1600 ANGELA M. LANGR1DGE The subject of this paper is the population of an east Kent rural community from 1086 to 1600. Much recent work has emphasised the importance of demographic trends in the economic and social history of the medieval period. It has been argued that very considerable population expansion took place in rural society between the eleventh century and c. 1300.' Much of the change in rural society in the later Middle Ages has been linked to major demographic decline. Some historians argue that this decline set in with a subsistence crisis in the first quarter of the fourteenth century! Others date the downturn in the demographic trend from the first visitation of bubonic plague in 1348-49.3 A consensus of opinion is also absent with regard to the date of the upturn in population at the end of the Middle Ages. Estate and regional studies published in recent decades have reflected the increased emphasis on demographic change, but no systematic attempt has yet been made to investigate the popula- tion of a medieval community in Kent.' The kinds of evidence and the methods utilised in demographic studies have varied considerably. A number of studies have concen- trated on mortality figures, while others have attempted to derive generation replacement rates from a combination of birth and death See particularly the work of M. M. Postan, most recently in The Medieval Economy and Society (1978), 30-44.

  • Document in Detail: Diocese of Canterbury Medieval Fragments
    Issue 10, Summer 2018 Kent Archives is set for a busy summer. In this edition of our newsletter we introduce you to our joint project with Findmypast to digitise our parish register collection. The image in our header is from the first Cranbrook parish composite register [ref. P100/1/A/1], and is just one of the thousands of registers that will be digitised. We are also in the middle of transferring the remaining historic records of the Diocese of Canterbury from Canterbury Cathedral Archives to the Kent History and Library Centre to join its probate records, which have been held by Kent Archives since 1946. At the same time, archive cataloguing of one of Maidstone’s major papermaking collections is nearly complete; further World War I commemorative activities are underway; and work continues on the Catalogue Transfer Project and Manorial Documents Register Project for Kent. Document in Detail: Diocese of Canterbury Medieval Fragments [DCb/PRC/50/5] Mark Ballard, Archive Service Officer Among many other records of great value within the records of Canterbury Diocese are the ‘medieval fragments’ [DCb/PRC/49 and DCb/PRC/50], which in the post-Reformation period came to be used as covers, or ‘end-parchments’, for the probate registers. If we can judge by the dates of the act books and wills and inventories registers they covered, this recycling became a habit during the episcopate of Archbishop Matthew Parker (1559-1575). It is perhaps ironic that at precisely the time that Thomas Tallis and William Byrd, probably both closet Roman Catholics, were still being employed to write motets for the Chapel Royal, such disrespectful treatment was being accorded at Canterbury to their medieval predecessors.

  • A Year in View 2015 -2016
    A year in view 2015 -2016 The KSCP is the principal organisation conserving, enhancing and promoting the countryside and urban green space of the Stour Valley. It is one of eight countryside/coastal partnerships in Kent and covers the largest area. In 2015/16 the Partnership carried out hundreds of projects from Lenham and Smarden in the west, to Sandwich in the east, to Whitstable in the north, and Aldington to the south. The KSCP aligns its objectives with those of its key partners - Ashford Borough Council, Canterbury City Council, the Environment Agency and Kent County Council, without whose support it could not operate. We would like to thank all those involved with the Partnership, and especially our volunteers, for making a real difference to the landscape, wildlife and communities of this part of Kent. Work with local communities Supported 19 site based community groups with practical help managing their land. Brought 14 schools onto sites to carry out educational work, and worked with 19 other community groups. Working with Loudon Wood Management Group we submitted an application to Veolia Environmental Trust and received funding in January 2015 to restore a small ancient woodland and play area. We helped Friends of Westgate Parks run a ‘Clean for the Queen’ event. Attended numer- ous evening meetings supporting and guiding local groups. Jenny Tippen from Ashford Community Woodland said “I would like to thank you and your volunteer group for all your hard work today. We achieved so much and we really appreciate your help.” Godinton Primary School children who helped to select the play ‘Clean for the Queen’ at Westgate Parks.

  • The Kent Yeoman in the Seventeenth Century
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society THE KENT YEOMAN IN THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY JACQUELINE BOWER Mildred Campbell, in the only detailed work so far published on the yeomanry, concluded that the yeoman class emerged in the fifteenth century.1 The yeomen were the free tenants of the manor, usually identified with freeholders of land worth 40s. a year, the medieval franklins. The Black Death of 1348 may have hastened the emergence of the yeomanry. The plague may have killed between one-third and one-half of the total population of England, a loss from which the population did not recover until the second half of the sixteenth century. Landowners were left with vacant farms because tenants had died and no one was willing to take on tenancies or buy land at the high rents and prices common before the Black Death. In a buyer's market, it became impossible for landlords to enforce all the feudal services previously exacted. Land prices fell, and peasant farming families which survived the Black Death and which had a little capital were able, over several generations, to accumulate sizeable estates largely free of labour services. It is taken for granted that yeomen were concerned with agriculture, men who would later come to be described as farmers, ranking between gentry and husbandmen, of some substance and standing in their communities. However, a re-examination of contemporary usages suggests that there was always some uncertainty as to what a yeoman was. William Harrison, describing English social structure in 1577, said that yeomen possessed 'a certain pre-eminence and more estimation' among the common people.
