  • Kent/Chatham Dispatch Gets Zetron a Second Time Around
    Public Safety and Emergency Dispatch Customer Perspective Kent/Chatham Dispatch Gets Zetron a Second Time Around New Functionality Added with the Zetron IntegratorRD Workstation The Chatham/Kent Emergency Dispatch Center in Ontario, Canada recently went through a similar upgrade to its Zetron consoles. This time the decision to upgrade was driven by the need to keep up with changing technology and the increasing number of radio channels and console positions. “We dispatch for Chatham/Kent Police and Chatham/Kent Fire which is comprised of 19 stations,” explained 9-1-1 Communications Manager, Ken Yott. “ In 2000 we received 22,551 9-1-1 calls, but our Comm Center answered a combined total of 292,998 emergency and non- emergency calls.” The Chatham/Kent dispatch originally operated with a Zetron Model 4024 A Zetron IntegratorRD workstation in use.

  • Cemetery Trustee
    - 1 - Meeting Minutes of the Canterbury Cemetery Trustees - FINAL April 14, 2021 – Canterbury Center Gazebo Members present: John Goegel Jan Cote, and Sam Papps, Trustees; Kent Ruesswick, Sexton; Art Hudson, Selectman. John Goegel called the meeting to order at 1 p.m. and welcomed Jan Cote to the Board of Trustees. He also thanked Selectman Hudson for joining us. Jan Cote made a motion to elect John Goegel as chairman, seconded by Sam Papps. Unanimously voted in the affirmative. Chairman Goegel then moved to elect Sam Papps as Secretary and Treasurer, seconded by Jan Cote. Unanimously voted in the affirmative. Chairman Goegel also made a statement of thanks to Hugh Fifield for his many years of service as a Cemetery Trustee, and to the Town as the Sexton. Jan Cote moved to accept the minutes as written, seconded by John Goegel. Passed unanimously. The board then moved on to discuss item 3 on the agenda, the Pallet gate. It has been known to the Trustees for at least the past five years that the Pallet Cemetery gate is in the possession of Cynthia Clark, who owns property in the Borough. The gate is currently displayed in her home as an art display. The trustees expressed their desire that the gate should be rehung at the cemetery, in its original intended place, and that we are willing to cover the expense of this undertaking of returning it to its original home. Kent noted that the posts had shifted over time that they no longer reflect their original width, where the gate once hung, and it might take stonewall work and some minor excavation to widen the posts again for the gate, probably by Kevin Fife.

  • Kent County Road Lookup Table
    KENT COUNTY ROAD LOOKUP TABLE How To Find a Roadway Section AADT Count: The Kent, New Castle, and Sussex County portions of the Traffic Count summary list the roads numerically by Maintenance Road Number, but the roads are more commonly known by their name. The Road Name Lookup Table is used to help in locating traffic count road segments that you wish to view by name. This table includes the Road Name in alphabetical order, the Maintenance Road Number(s) that reference to the summaries, and the general Location of the roadway. While some roads keep the same Maintenance Road Number for the entire length of the road name, some will have multiple Maintenance Road Numbers.

  • SOCIAL INSTITUTIONS in KENT 1480-1660 Brief Notes on the County
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 75 1961 SOCIAL INSTITUTIONS IN KENT 1480-1660 I. BRIEF NOTES ON THE COUNTY KENT ranks ninth in size among the counties of England. During the whole of our period it was economically and politically one of the most important of all the counties of the realm, possessing a particular significance because of its nearness to London and its situation athwart the principal lines of communication between the capital and the Con- tinent. It enjoyed a special esteem because it was the seat of two cathedral cities. At Canterbury, until the Reformation swept away the rich monastic establishments clustering around the cathedral church, was to be found as well the richest concentration of monastic wealth and activity in any one community in the realm. The county likewise possessed natural resources sufficient in our period to make it one of the most prosperous in all England. A fertile and varied soil and terrain made it a famous agricultural region, where farm lands and parks were much prized as investments by London merchants, whose steady purchases produced an almost continuous inflation in the value of the land. As early as the beginning of our period specialized fruit farming had begun, with very heavy and cer- tainly very profitable capital outlays, which by the close of the sixteenth century had made its orchards renowned throughout Europe. Kent's agricultural prosperity grew as London's population rapidly increased, since its geographical position and relatively good network of roads gave it a most important competitive advantage in the London markets. The Kentish gentry were at once numerous and rich, though Lam- barde thought them not for the most part of ancient stock or so firmly seated in this county as elsewhere.

  • 4. a Picture of Growth in Kent and Medway
    This chapter provides the context for growth across Kent and Medway to 2031. It gives 4. A PICTURE OF GROWTH IN an overview of the projected growth in population, employment and housing for Kent and Medway and explores the demographics and economics of that growth. In doing KENT AND MEDWAY so, it sets out key trends and projections that will affect the distribution of growth and planning to support infrastructure to 2031. In order to illustrate how Kent and Medway is changing in terms of population, demo- graphics and housing growth, the figures in this section represent the period 2011- 2031, unless stated otherwise. 4.1 POPULATION FORECASTS GIF POPULATION FORECAST The GIF uses the KCC Housing Led Forecast, produced by KCC Strategic Business Development & Intelligence, to establish a population forecast directly linked to (and constrained by) the planned housing identified for this framework. As districts are at various stages in the Local Plan process, housing trajectories can be volatile. The GIF forecast takes housing trajectories at a set point in time (September 2017) provided by Local Authorities to perform a consistent analysis of growth and need across the County. The GIF forecast shows a 2031 population of 2,127,600 – an increase of 396,300 from 2011, equivalent to 23% growth Houses in Sevenoaks, Sevenoaks DC Figure 4.1: Forecast population change 2011 to 2031 (Source: KCC GIF Forecast 2017) KENT COUNTY COUNCIL 23 Net international migration accounted for approximately The majority of people who move into Kent and Medway come a third of this net flow into Kent and Medway, and con- from London.
