I fear they be unpopular Individual with the Council. 1. Under NO circumstances do away with buses stopping in Market Street. To do so would spark a riot. 2. I propose that the junction at the bottom of West Hill be changed so as to allow Dartford bound traffic to drive down Spital Street and then go onto Dartford Railway station via Hythe Street. The advantages of this would be to allow 96, 428 and 492 bus passengers to alight in the heart of Dartford, possibly outside the Co-op building. Another advantage is that it would ease the congestion on the A226 / Westgate Road. If it was felt that too much traffic would use this route then access could be restricted to buses only.

  • An Archaeological and Geoarchaeological Evaluation at St Anselm’S Church, West Hill, Dartford, Kent

The work was undertaken between the 1st and 3rd of December 2008 on behalf of Scott Wilson Group Ltd. Three evaluation trenches initially sampled the surface archaeology and three geo-archaeological test pits, at the end of each trench, investigated the geological sequence. The evaluation trenches revealed only two sub-circular features, representing modern activity. These features were overlain by a deep layer of made ground, associated with the construction of the church in 1975. The first natural horizon varied in depth from 27.65 metres OD to the west of the site and 28.31 metres OD to the east of the site. The lack of archaeological remains may indicate that the natural horizon has been truncated by construction works associated with the church. The geoarchaeolgical test pits revealed that Head Deposits cover the site, overlaying the weathered surface of the natural chalk. In one of the test pits a single isolated patch of fluvial sands was encountered at a depth in excess of two metres.

Miller has asserted his right to be identified as the author of this work in accordance with the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 Please listen to “Where is the Love?” By The Black Eyed Peas http://youtu.be/WpYeekQkAdc Website: apilgrimageforbrianhaw.webs.com Email: [email protected] Facebook: A Pilgrimage for Brian Haw 2 A Word about Pilgrimages from Canon Gordon Tarry A pilgrimage is a journey or search of moral or spiritual significance. Typically, it is a journey to a shrine or other location of importance to a person's beliefs and faith. A person who makes such a journey is called a pilgrim. A pilgrimage is also an inner journey. As a pilgrim travels, reflection can take place on life and any particular reasons the pilgrimage has been undertaken. For many this space to think and reflect brings fresh purpose and meaning for their lives. Barking Abbey, founded in 666, and its ruins, have been a place of pilgrimage for many years, and this continues today. 3 Forword I’ve only met Brian Haw on two occasions in my life. Both meetings were very brief and I only exchanged but a handful of words with him. But he was still someone who had a great impact on me, for who he was and what he did. Firstly, I respected him greatly for the resilience and commitment he showed in standing for justice and for truth, no matter what the consequence may have been to himself, and secondly, for the courage he demonstrated when doing so.

  • Darent Valley Tech Report.P65
    Green Cluster Studies Darent Valley Technical Report March 2008 Executive Summary The Green Cluster studies set out an ambitious vision for the Green Grid public realm and provide an Action Plan to support its delivery across north Kent. Seven Green Cluster Studies have been undertaken to date, and a further Cluster Study is planned for the Isle of Sheppey. Each one focuses on areas of intensive regeneration and change where there are superb opportunities to create strategically sited new greenspaces which will raise expectations, add value to existing investment and create high quality green infrastructure for future development. The Cluster Studies have adopted a partnership approach to co-ordinate discussions amongst key stakeholders in each cluster. Many are engaged in developing ideas and drawing up plans for individual sites and the Cluster Studies' workshops have provided a valuable opportunity to focus attention on the relationships between projects and the wider landscape setting. Starting on the flood embankments of the River Thames and ending at the North Downs Way in the heart of the Kent Downs AONB, the Darent Valley has a strategic location on the edge of the London conurbation. The Darent Valley Path is already a catalyst for a series of environmental projects, but the Green Cluster Studies offer an opportunity for an overarching, coordinated vision, which promotes the valley, while reflecting the strong contrasts in character and accessibility along the river corridor. The Green Cluster Studies' vision for the Darent Valley draws together ideas from a range of stakeholders and expresses a common vision for the Darent Valley Cluster.

  • Procurement of a Development Partner for Major Sites in Dartford Town Centre
    APPENDIX A Procurement of a Development Partner for Major Sites in Dartford Town Centre www.dtz.com Tel: +44 (0) 20 3296 3000 Dartford Town Centre Sites FOREWORD FROM THE LEADER Thank you for registering your interest in this development opportunity, although I am not surprised that you have. It is a wonderful opportunity to work with willing partners in an unrivalled location to create something of great value. This document provides all the information you need about developing Dartford’s Station Quarter, former Co-operative Department Store site (Hythe Street) and Kent Road Westgate Car Park site. Dartford is growing, with strategic developments in the pipeline in the shape of Paramount London at Swanscombe Peninsula and the creation of Ebbsfleet Garden City. New homes and businesses are also being built as part of the Northern Gateway and The Bridge development in the north of the Borough. Dartford Borough Council is working to complement this growth with improvements throughout the town centre. Work has already been carried out in the beautiful Central Park to return it to its Edwardian splendour and increase its popularity with local residents, with a children’s waterplay area, café, skatepark, events, a new entrance, paths & bridges. A new Station building for the busy mainline railway station is now complete being a high quality and contemporarily designed building which is capable of handling in excess of 2 million passengers a year. Back in 2012, DBC created a Town Team which successfully bid to become one of Britain’s first 12 Portas Towns. We have been putting our bid into action and traders are confirming fresh confidence in the Town Centre and new retailers (large and small) have been attracted.
