Working together to unlock Kent’s potential 79 Annex List of respondents to the consultation draft 80 5 6 Foreword by the Leader of Kent County Council and the Cabinet Member for Regeneration In the last 20 years Kent has seen phenomenal change and growth. There are 100,000 more people living in the county, our housing stock has increased by over 60,000 homes and there are 130,000 more cars on our roads. Kent has undergone dramatic change in this time and the pace of change is set to accelerate further over the next 20 years. As we write, the Government’s target for housing growth in Kent, between now and 2026, has risen to 138,420.This could deliver a population increase of 8 per cent and a 20 per cent increase in Kent households, or three new towns the size of Dover, irrespective of the current global recession and the ability of house builders to build or the affordability of homes and availability of mortgage finance for people to buy them. At the same time, demography is changing in a way never experienced before.

Thursday Year 3 enjoyed their History Day on The Stone Age. The class enjoyed re-enacting hunting, crawling through mining tunnels and acting out a Celtic myth. Take a look at our Twitter feed for some photos of their adventures! Head’s Lines Today Year 6 visited the Open Day at The Police College where they attended workshops and activities that promoted the vital and diverse role of policing across the county, from training the officers through to receiving and responding to emergency calls. It also highlighted how the police work with partners to deal with crime and disorder, protect the public from harm, and keep Kent safe. During the visit, pupils were able to meet officers, watch police teams in action and take part in activities and demonstrations. There was a large range of interactive displays that sought to engage the children around some of the key challenges they may face as they move into their next stage of development, involving online safety, road safety, alcohol and drug awareness.
