Maidstone Play Area Strategy Consultation Results – Based on 177 Online Responses and 18 Other Responses (Email, Letter, Etc) Maidstone Play Area Strategy Consultation Results – based on 177 online responses and 18 other responses (email, letter, etc) Summary of results Two petitions received, both with over one hundred signatures, for Perverel Drive and Freshland Road. More comments received from several respondents concerning Peverel Drive, Freshland Road, Keswick Drive, Roseholme, The Harbour at Sutton Valence, Bedgebury Close, Shepherds Gate Drive, The Cockpit at Marden, Somerset Road Play Area and Shaw Close. Further suggestions include the formation of a rural play areas consortium to develop further rural play area policies that are suitable for rural areas. Suggested actions Peverel Drive – that the play area be kept on and improved using the S106 development contribution from the Kent Frozen Foods development on Ware Street before being handed over to Thurnham Parish Council (for discussion with the Parish Council and/or residents) Freshland Road – that the play area be retained as non-strategic with the current equipment being maintained. Other organisations or groups will still be able to come forward to look at taking on the site. Once the equipment fails through health and safety inspections, the status of the play area will be reviewed for consideration again through the yearly review of the Play Strategy. Keswick Drive – on further consideration of the walking distances with the gradient of the hill taken into account that the play area be retained as non-strategic with the current equipment being maintained. Other organisations or groups will still be able to come forward to look at taking on the site. Once the equipment fails through health and safety inspections, the status of the play area will be reviewed for consideration again through the yearly review of the Play Strategy. Roseholme – as Claire Park, with it’s excellent facilities for all age groups is only 270m from Roseholme games court, and the area suffers with antisocial behaviour, this facility will be made available to other organisations and groups to take on before the facility is removed. Two groups have come forward expressing an interest in this site. The Harbour at Sutton Valance – this area cannot be removed as it belongs to the Parish Council. A discussion will be had with the Parish Council regarding strategic sites. Bedgebury Close - The next nearest play area is 300m from Bedgebury Close at the large open space on Ashurst Close, which is due to be upgraded as part of the £1.8M improvement plans detailed in the Draft Play Area Strategy document. This will provide much needed play provision at the heart of the Vinters Park estate to meet the needs of many households within walking distance. Bedgebury Close will remain on the strategy document as non-strategic to be taken on or removed. Shepherds Gate Drive - the play area to be retained as non-strategic with the current equipment being maintained. Other organisations or groups will still be able to come forward to look at taking on the site. Once the equipment fails through health and safety inspections, the status of the play area would be reviewed for consideration again through the yearly review of the Play Strategy. The Cockpit at Marden – As Marden Playing Fields is only 300m away from the Cockpit this play area will remain on the strategy document as non-strategic to be taken on or removed. There are plans to refurbish the play area at Marden Playing Fields. Somerset Road Play Area – as Shepway Green Play area is 790m away and Somerset Road through its poor location suffers with antisocial behaviour and safety issues in the evenings, this play area will remain on the strategy document as non-strategic to be taken on or removed. Shaw Close – As Penenden Heath Play Area, as a main district play area providing play equipment for all age groups, is 540m away, that Shaw Close play area will remain on the strategy document as non-strategic to be taken on or removed. Fountain Park (Lacock Gardens) – As South Park Play area, as a main district play area providing play equipment for all age groups, is 460m away, that Fountain Park will remain on the strategy document as non-strategic to be transferred to a third party or removed. Juniper Close – further investigation shows this that although officially the developer still owns this play area, the developer went into administration and is no longer in existence. The council has been inspecting the play equipment to ensure its safe for the public to use. Will carry on with inspections and basic maintenance work as required. Will look to see if MBC can take ownership of the land. That a rural play areas consortium could be formed, lead by Headcorn Parish Council and other rural organisations, and supported by MBC, to formulate future rural play area policies to feed into the play area strategy. This can be added to the Play Strategy at a further review date should the rural community wish to further pursue this direction.

This will allow interest parties to consider all aspects before taking on a commitment. There will be a 12 month period to enable groups to look at this properly and the play area would not be closed during this time.

(PLC) was commissioned by Maidstone Borough Council (MBC) to produce a Playing Pitch Strategy (PPS) for the borough. This is part of a wider assessment of sport and leisure provision in the borough which also includes indoor and outdoor built leisure facilities. 1.2 Strategic drivers The primary purpose of the PPS is to provide a strategic framework which ensures that the provision of outdoor playing pitches meets the local needs of existing and future residents within Maidstone Borough. Development in the Borough has brought an increase in sports provision which is able to meet some of the needs of the area. However future development is likely to put a strain on the sporting infrastructure of Maidstone. The PPS will help to secure and safeguard sport in Maidstone now and in the future. 1.3 The aim and objectives of the strategy 1.3.1 Aim The aim of the PPS is to provide Maidstone Borough Council with an assessment of all relevant outdoor sport facilities in the Borough. This will provide a baseline for current and future supply and demand assessments and also set out a vision with a strategic approach to sport and recreation provision in the Borough in the short, medium and long term (to 2031).

    Hasted’s Kent East Barming in 1798 Edward Hasted, The history and topographical survey of the county of Kent, second edition, volume 4 (Canterbury, 1798), pages 383–92 EAST BARMING. CALLED in antient records, Bermelinge, lies the next parish to East Farleigh, on the opposite or north= ern side of the river Medway. THE PARISH of East Barming lies on high ground, declining southward to the valley, through which the river Medway flows, being its southern boundary. It is situated opposite to East Farleigh, than which it has a far less rustic and more ornamented appearance. 384 The soil like that is a fertile loam, slightly covering the quarry rock, from under which several small springs gush out, and run precipitately in trinkling rills into the Medway; it is enriched too with fre= quent hop and fruit plantations; the fields are in ge= neral larger, and surrounded with continued rows of lofty elms and large spreading oaks, which contribute greatly to the pleasantness of the place. The situation of it, as well as of the neighbouring parishes, from Maidstone as far as Mereworth, is exceedingly beau= tiful, the river Medway meandering its silver stream in the valley beneath, throughout the greatest part of the extent of them; the fertility of soil, the heal= thiness of air, the rich variety of prospect, adorned by a continued range of capital seats, with their parks and plantations, form altogether an assemblage of ob= jects, in which nature and art appear to have lavished their choicest endeavours, to form a scene teeming with whatever can make it desirable both for pleasure and profit.

TOGETHER FOR GROWTH St Andrew’s and St Nicholas’ have been adjacent parishes since the 1930s; both were established to serve growing communities. While conducting their independent ministries, the two churches have over the years shared occasional services and social events, and have maintained a friendly relationship. St Andrew’s Church building was originally a school which has since been extended. The present St Nicholas’ Church building was purpose-built in 1975 to cater for the growing population in the ever-expanding Allington suburb of Maidstone. St Andrew’s Church Recognising our need to grow spiritually, numerically and financially, both churches have agreed to work together and grow under the leadership of a new priest. The new Priest-in-Charge will be appointed to each parish with a view to possible closer union in the future.

It is recognised as a contributing factor in the onset of heart disease and cancer. Additionally, air pollution particularly affects the most vulnerable in society: children and older people, and those with heart and lung conditions.

  • A Hand List of English Enclosure Acts and Awards Tate
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society ( 54 ) A HAND-LIST OF ENGLISH ENCLOSURE ACTS AND AWARDS. PART 17. OPEN FIELDS, COMMONS AND ENCLOSURES IN KENT. BY W. E. TATE, F.R.HIST.S. KENT, as Professor H. L. Gray's map shows,1 lies well outside the main. area recognized as having formerly been cultivated under the two- and three-field systems. Meitzen2 considered that the differences—very obvious to even a superficial enquirer—existing between the field structure of Kent and that of the Midland counties are clear evidence of "Celtic " settlement. The difficulty in the way of accepting this theory is that Kent, as we shall see later, is probably of all the English counties the one most pre-eminently English in its settlement. Never- theless, it is characterized by the peculiar field systems alluded to, and in general by very early enclosure. So far is this true that some very competent authorities have doubted how far either common arable fields or common pastures were ever generally prevalent here. Professor Gray found evidence of such, however, and his findings are confirmed and are amplified by the later researches of Dr. and Mrs. Orwin.3 They have found definite evidence of the existence of open fields medievally both to the north and to the south of the Weald. They quote Dr. Muhlfeld4 for further evidence as to the existence of four fields at Wye in 1312. Dr. Muhlfeld, however, found that these fields early disappeared.
