Page 1 of 1 Dunkeyson, Nicholas From: Sent: 25 June 2012 17:58 To: Re views@ Subject: New Electoral Arrangements - Ryarsh Village Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Re d Attn: The Local Government Boundary Commission Dear Sirs We would like to lodge our objection, as residents in Ryarsh, to the proposal to divide the village into two wards for election purposes. Ryarsh is a small village with a thriving community spirit. Residents take pride in their local community, pulling together to support village fund raising and tackle local issues. It seems wholly un-natural to split the village into two wards, when Ryarsh as it is, demonstrates the core values of local village life. Surely a thriving village community is far more important than balancing electoral numbers. We feel splitting the village in to two wards would impact negatively on the village and for this reason we object to the proposal.

I am writing again to register my opposition to the draft recommendations on the electoral arrangements for Tonbridge & Malling in its entirety. Yours sincerely, Simon Berry From: Dunkeyson, Nicholas Sent: Tuesday, June 12, 2012 11:51 AM To: Subject: RE: Electoral review of Tonbridge and Malling Dear Mr Berry, Thank you for your enquiry regarding the electoral review of Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council. The electoral review of Tonbridge and Malling is only dealing with the electoral wards each part of the borough are situated in. We do not have any influence over or opinion on council tax banding – this falls under the remit of the local authority. As such, I would advise for you to contact Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council regarding this, as they may be able to assist you. Kind regards, Nicholas Dunkeyson 26/06/2012 Page 2 of 2 Please consider the environment before printing this email.

Many thanks, Simon Berry Aylesford 26/06/2012 Page 1 of 1 Dunkeyson, Nicholas From: richard brooks Sent: 22 June 2012 21:39 To: Re views@ Subject: Proposal for Ryarsh Village Dear Sir/Madam, My wife and I live in the village of Ryarsh, and we strongly object to the proposal to divide the village into two wards. My family have lived in the village for decades, and have run a coach company in the village since 1938. Our daughter attends the village primary school, and our son will hopefully be going in September 2013. The village is a tight nit community, and we disapprove with the proposal as we feel it would be detrimental to village life. Also, I speak to the parish councillors regularly and I feel that spitting the ward would hinder this. It would cause a lot of confusions as to who to speak to about matters regarding the village. Ryarsh has always been one village, and it should stay that way. I am also writing on behalf of my mother, Mary Brooks, . She lives at Ryarsh, and she objects to this proposal too. Regards, Richard & Kathryn Brooks 25/06/2012 Page 1 of 1 Dunkeyson, Nicholas From: Steve Buck Sent: 23 June 2012 19:02 To: Du nkeyson, Nicholas Subject: BOUNDARY CHANGE OBJECTION - SPLIT OF AYLESFORD PARISH Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Re d Dear Sir: I am writing to object to the proposal that Robson Drive/Trewin Close and part of Station Road will become part of Ditton Ward for electoral purposes..

Boundary changes. Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Re d From Peter Hicks Subject: Constant behind the back deception I.e. Boundary changes. Can anything in this area be done openly and in front always the leaders and policy makers come from the ,back,knife in hand. Once again we learn 2nd. Hand of boundary changes,leading to increased poll-tax (call it what you will) as I see it, signed sealed and settled,the people it affects the most the (as said) the last to know . The rantings of "Crouch" and T&Malling Council I take with a pinch of salt and would trust niether,I ultimately feel there is far more behind this,than meets the eye,in future development of whole of Aylesford area,which in anycase is sadly lacking in just about everything,transport being the foremost. And so the constant deception goes on. Peter Hicks And also on behalf of ,Roy Brenchley. Of Aylesford. 25/06/2012 Page 2 of 2 25/06/2012 Page 1 of 1 Dunkeyson, Nicholas From: stuart kemp Sent: 18 June 2012 20:49 To: Re views@ Subject: Ryarsh boundary changes Dear Review officer, i am writing to show my disgust that you are even contemplating changing the boundary's for the residents of Ryarsh, The proposed north and south divide has been drawn up using the m20 as a boundary line and i struggle to realise what you will gain from this change. This is an extract from a web site for Ryarsh:- "It is often thought that Ryarsh was one of the Black Death villages and this is borne out by entries in the registers for that date and the fact that our present village is some distance from the church. This may be a matter of conjecture but it is true that the Church has served the local people of Ryarsh for at least 900 years"........ If this is what you would like to change due to "number counting" then i ask you to think again Regards Stuart Kemp 20/06/2012 Page 1 of 1 Dunkeyson, Nicholas From: Sent: 22 June 2012 15:17 To: Re views@ Subject: objection to the splitting of Ryarsh Mrs Michel John and Frances Joan Lawrence We have recently learnt of the proposal of splitting the Parish of Ryarsh, and would like to object to this proposal on behalf of our family at the above address.
