Bethlehem was probably a place like our village. Normal people lived their normal lives. The difference is this place was mentioned in the Old Testament hundreds of years before Christ was born: ‘But you, o Bethlehem of Ephrata, who are one of the little clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to rule in Israel.’ So Bethlehem was quite famous among the people of ancient Israel. Thinking of the world around us these days we can’t look away from the many problems and challenges to mankind which have to be solved by all of us. Often I hear people say: ‘Well, I think this or that has to be changed in the world or has to be handled differently’. And I myself am quite aware that are things I should change in my life. After a little while – and maybe with a helpless smile in their faces – they might add: ‘But then I think I am only a little light in the world. What difference does it make what I do or don’t do?’ A lot!!! I would think. In a certain way we may compare to Bethlehem. – We may probably be only ‘a little light’ in the world, quite insignificant and of little importance as a single individual – and yet we are important for making things better throughout the world. Bethlehem was the place where Jesus was born, a man who preached love and charity, a man who changed the world. All things – good as well as bad – have small beginnings. Just like Bethlehem we could be of minor importance to the rest of the world and yet each one of us will leave their marks in the world for better or for worse. As Advent is drawing near we might start growing more aware of our own possibilities. Just as Bethlehem started out rather insignifcantly and yet went down in history as something very special, we could stop thinking or saying: ‘I am only a little light I cannot change the world.’ We could start thinking or saying: I will make a difference. I can try to bring more peace into the world. I can try to live in a way that is environment friendly. I can try to support an atmosphere of friendly welcome to strangers wherever they may come from. I can . I wish you the good feeling of making a difference to this world as we go on to Christmas.

  • Teynham Area of Opportunity 5.5.30 Teynham Is Centrally Located Within Swale and Is One of the Largest Villages in the Borough
    Teynham Area of Opportunity 5.5.30 Teynham is centrally located within Swale and is one of the largest villages in the Borough. It is defined in this plan as a Rural Local Service Centre as it supports the needs of the existing community and the settlements around it. The village owes much of its good range of services (including primary school, GP surgery, library and retail) and public transport provision to its position along the main Roman Road Watling Street (Greenstreet). 5.5.31 Teynham village is made up of a number of historic settlements including Greenstreet, Cellar Hill and Barrow Green. The London Road running through the village marks the boundary between Lynsted with Kingsdown Parish to the south and Teynham Parish to the north. 5.5.32 The straight alignment of the London Road through Teynham owes much to its Roman origins and gives the ‘high street’ in Teynham a distinctive linear character. The presence of medieval and post medieval buildings (particularly around Cellar Hill), but also dotted along the London Road and in the countryside around the village, provide evidence of the long-standing agricultural prosperity of the area, made possible by the rich soils of the north Kent fruit belt. The arrival of the railway north of Greenstreet in the 19th century led to the growth of the village towards the train station. Subsequent development over the 20th century has filled in the land between Watling Street and the railway line. 5.5.33 The countryside around Teynham is rural and agricultural in character and use.

  • Dear Neighbours and Residents
    Dear Neighbours and Residents, You will want to be aware. On Tuesday 19th January 2021 (tomorrow!), Councillor Mike Baldock and SBC Officials will ask SBC Councillors to approve a “Pre-Submission Document (Regulation 19)” together with associated documents that will form the basis of the Revised Borough Plan to 2031. The main document is incomplete in some areas but its main thrust is clear and despicable on many levels. Those of us living in and around Teynham Village/Greenstreet/A2 will bear the brunt of either a monumentally stupid approach or a huge gamble by SBC officials and key Councillors where the only losers will be Teynham and Lynsted Ward. And yet, as I understand it NEITHER of our Councillors has been allowed access to this thinking and will have little if any say during a Council Meeting that will follow previous patterns of stifling democratic or representative debate on major policies like this one. POLICY SETTING The Government has signalled changes in their calculation (algorithms) of housing numbers and distribution away from the South East and into areas of investment to the north of London! There is also emerging evidence (Office of National Statistics) that original calculations of housing need will have changed because of more flexible working patterns, growth of on-line business and the loss of 1.3m Europeans in the UK (the biggest decline in our population since WW2) – all because of Covid and Brexit. I see no evidence that SBC is responding to these seismic shifts in our socio-economic demands. Instead, SBC is continuing regardless.
