  • Sustainable Stewardship: Setting-Up Structures for Community-Led Governance on Strategic Sites
    Sustainable Stewardship: Setting-up structures for community-led governance on strategic sites Dan Daley PN023 Public Practice is a not-for-profit social enterprise with a mission to improve the quality and equality of everyday places by building the public sector’s capacity for proactive planning. 10% of the year-long placements is dedicated to a Research & Development programme to share new knowledge and practice across authorities. This resource is one of the outputs of this programme. SUSTAINABLE STEWARDSHIP: Setting-up structures for community-led governance on strategic sites This Case Study focuses on a housing-led urban extension encompassing three former greenfield sites, a mix of landowners and development partners working with local communities to retroactively shape a holistic vision and strategy for a new community south of Ashford in Kent, with the support of Homes England Garden Communities funding. It reflects on how stakeholders are working together to deliver a high-quality garden community and was developed as part of a year-long placement at Ashford Borough Council between April 2019 and March 2020. The Case Study may be useful as a precedent for other Authorities who are seeking to develop large strategic sites or urban extensions. CONTEXT The South of Ashford Garden Community (SAGC) is Ashford Borough Council’s (ABC) largest housing allocation, crucial to meeting the Borough’s 5-year housing land supply. Situated on the edge of the town centre, three sites were identified for potential development as early as 2006. Chilmington Green (sometimes abbreviated to Chilmington), the largest of the three sites and scheduled to deliver 5,750 homes, is under construction, with over 40 homes now occupied and another 50 planned completions by the end of 2020.

  • FEBRUARY 2020 As You Are All Aware, Ashford Has Recently Seen Very Unsettled Weather As Storm Dennis, Storm Ciara and Storm Jorge Battered the Country
    GREAT CHART WITH SINGLETON – FEBRUARY 2020 As you are all aware, Ashford has recently seen very unsettled weather as Storm Dennis, Storm Ciara and Storm Jorge battered the country. Strong winds and torrential downpours caused many roads in the area to be blocked by falling trees. On Sunday, 16th February, my colleague and I were deployed to a tree that had fallen onto a vehicle along the A252 that runs from Molash to Chilham. Remarkably, the driver of the vehicle walked away uninjured. We were then there for 4 hours waiting for Kent Highways’ tree surgeons to remove the tree that had blocked the road. Over the last few weeks, Ashford PCSOs have attended many fallen trees in order to help keep the public safe and traffic moving. During the February school holiday, Police Community Support Officers have, once again, been involved in an operation with regards to nuisance youths and antisocial behaviour. Traditionally the school holidays have been a busy period for Kent Police when it comes to a minority of youths causing problems. The aim of this operation is to conduct pro-active patrolling and deal with youths as soon as possible when issues are reported to us. In February, Police Community Support Officers were also involved with a different operation which was organised by the Kent Police Community Safety Unit. This was to raise the awareness of knife crime and to talk to the 8000 children in our local secondary schools about it. Test purchasing of knives was also carried out by non-uniformed police cadets who were underage.
