  • Review Into the Best Value Delivery of the Environmental Health out of Hours Service for Sevenoaks District Council [And Dartford Borough Council]
    REVIEW INTO THE BEST VALUE DELIVERY OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH OUT OF HOURS SERVICE FOR SEVENOAKS DISTRICT COUNCIL [AND DARTFORD BOROUGH COUNCIL] Cabinet - 19 April 2018 Report of the: Chief Officer Environmental & Operational Services Status: For recommendation to Cabinet Also considered by: Direct and Trading Advisory Committee - 13 March 2018 Key Decision: Yes Executive Summary: The shared service Environmental Health team currently provides an Out of Hours (OOH) Service to deal with complaints from residents within the Sevenoaks and Dartford districts. This service currently operates everyday throughout the year between 17:00 and 22:00 Monday to Thursday, 17:00 to 00:00 Friday, 08:00 to 00:00 Saturday and 08:00 to 22:00 Sunday. Demand for the service is shown to vary significantly throughout the year and by day of the week. Many of the calls received are not urgent and do not require immediate action. These can be managed the next working day during office hours in accordance with agreed performance indicators. In the past 18 months, experienced officers have left the OOH Service, and there is now a serious issue with fully staffing the Service in its existing format. This report recommends that the OOH service targets Environmental Health Officer resource at times of peak demand whilst simultaneously empowering the CCTV team to respond, record and provide advice to the majority of ‘one off’ complaints received by the service. The existing OOH provision for serious or emergency public health complaints will be extended via a year round cascade call system. This report supports the Key Aim of Safe Communities and Green Environment Portfolio Holder Cllr.

  • Maidstone Green Party Response to Maidstone Borough Council's
    Maidstone Green Party Response to Maidstone Borough Council’s consultation on the Local Plan Review Preferred Approaches Firstly, we are deeply concerned about the timing and brevity of this consultation. It was launched to run from before the date of the end of the national lockdown for covid, i.e. 1st December 2020 however as the council is aware, Maidstone immediately entered Tier 3 with the tightest restriction. This is very likely to reduce knowledge of and access to the consultation and therefore the process is challengeable. Furthermore the consultation in being run in the three week run up to Christmas, a generally accepted poor time for consultation and a time that will further suppress engagement by the public. We are concerned that this poorly timed consultation will not reasonable standards of engagement, particularly from hard to reach groups, and is therefore flawed. With regard to the Local Plan Review Preferred Approaches (LPRPA) itself: Climate change and the ecological emergency Given that this is the largest emergency facing humanity and that the council has acknowledged this, it is surprising that the LPRPA does not frame itself around carbon / pollution reduction, resource reduction, and restoration / mitigation. Climate change is paid lip service to only and it is clear that the council has not understood the impacts or requirements. Policy SP15(C) Climate Change commences with the words “Adopt a strategy for growth” demonstrating the council’s fundamental lack of understanding about the connection between the environment and the economy. The building of an average home uses 100t CO2e. The LPRPA requires that 18,210 homes are built, this will require the emission of 1.8 million tonnes of CO2e which would not be in keeping with the council’s aim to be carbon neutral or that climate change is an emergency.

    Streets for All South East Consultation draft copy Summary In 2017 Historic England published an updated national edition of Streets for All, a practical guide for anyone involved in planning and implementing highways and other public realm works in sensitive historic locations. It shows how improvements can be made to public spaces without harming their valued character, including specific recommendations for works to surfaces, street furniture, new equipment, traffic management infrastructure and environmental improvements. This supplementary document summarises the key messages of Streets for All in the context of the South East. It begins by explaining how historic character adds value to the region’s contemporary public realm before summarising some of the priorities and opportunities for further improvements to the South East’s streetscape. This guidance has been prepared by Martin Small, Historic Places Advisor in the South East, and Rowan Whimster. First published by English Heritage 20Ǔǘ.

  • Document in Detail: Diocese of Canterbury Medieval Fragments
    Issue 10, Summer 2018 Kent Archives is set for a busy summer. In this edition of our newsletter we introduce you to our joint project with Findmypast to digitise our parish register collection. The image in our header is from the first Cranbrook parish composite register [ref. P100/1/A/1], and is just one of the thousands of registers that will be digitised. We are also in the middle of transferring the remaining historic records of the Diocese of Canterbury from Canterbury Cathedral Archives to the Kent History and Library Centre to join its probate records, which have been held by Kent Archives since 1946. At the same time, archive cataloguing of one of Maidstone’s major papermaking collections is nearly complete; further World War I commemorative activities are underway; and work continues on the Catalogue Transfer Project and Manorial Documents Register Project for Kent. Document in Detail: Diocese of Canterbury Medieval Fragments [DCb/PRC/50/5] Mark Ballard, Archive Service Officer Among many other records of great value within the records of Canterbury Diocese are the ‘medieval fragments’ [DCb/PRC/49 and DCb/PRC/50], which in the post-Reformation period came to be used as covers, or ‘end-parchments’, for the probate registers. If we can judge by the dates of the act books and wills and inventories registers they covered, this recycling became a habit during the episcopate of Archbishop Matthew Parker (1559-1575). It is perhaps ironic that at precisely the time that Thomas Tallis and William Byrd, probably both closet Roman Catholics, were still being employed to write motets for the Chapel Royal, such disrespectful treatment was being accorded at Canterbury to their medieval predecessors.
