HON. PATRICK JENKIN MP SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT 1. At present the New Barn residential area is split between Dartford Borough, Sevenoaks District and Gravesham Borough; the part situated in Dartford is in the parish of ^outhfleet; the part in Sevenoaks is in the parish of Longfield, whilst the part in Gravesham is unparished. On 30 November 1979» Gravesham Borough Council requested ue to review the boundaries between the districts of Gravesham, Dartford and Sevenoaks in the vicinity of New Barn. Their request was in response to representations from the New Barn Ratepayers Association for the whole of the New Barn residential area to be incorporated within Gravesham Borough. The Association based their representations on a survey of opinion which they carried out in 1978 among the residents of New Barn on the question of whether the area should be under one authority, and if so, which one. The results indicated that a majority (8?#) of residents indicating a view preferred to see New Barn under one authority and a large proportion (6990 of these considered that this should be Gravesham. 2. We noted that Kent County Council, Dartford Borough Council, Sevenoaks District Council, and Longfield Parish Council were all opposed to a review beinp undertaken at that time, although Kent County Council and Dartford BOrough Council did a^ree that the current boundaries in the New Barn area were not wholly satisfactory.

Additional Suggestions Setting the pier blocks out accurately is essential and it will make the rest of the fixing process easier. First, check that the area is level enough to build the balustrade on. Next, mark the positions of the pier blocks and accurately measure the distances between piers to ensure that you have enough sections of stonework. • If you need to cut plinth and coping sections to fit into a bay, Place the pier blocks in positon using four wooden wedges underneath each pier. Use a level to ensure that then cut a small amount off several the piers are vertical and a string line to ensure that the piers are square on to each other and in line. The gap underneath the pier block should about 20mm. Mix up a mortar consisting of 5 parts soft sand to 1 part OP cement pieces. This way you will not use and pour some of it into the hole in the centre of the pier block. Using a baton or a gloved hand, push the mortar any more stones and you will get a out into the gap under the pier until some squeezes out around the outside of the pier.

So what’s it’s secret? Early settlers were the first to recognise its prime waterside location and a settlement quickly grew up here at the head of the navigable creek, with quick and easy access to Europe in one direction and London in the other. The soil around the creeks and rivers was rich and fertile, pure spring water was readily available from local aquifers, and the climate was dry and temperate. Sailing ships in Faversham Creek Caroline Millar © RGS-IBG Discovering Britain This gentle creekside walk takes you on a journey of discovery from the grand Victorian station through the medieval centre of town then out through its post-industrial edgelands to encounter the bleak beauty of the Kent marshes.
