As I we dug more deeply, we discovered how such events have touched on the lives of local people in and around the Parish. The story really begins with our thanks to the generosity of many families who have shared with us their images, stories and documents to add to our on-going Heritage Project. The sub-group has added some further research, to help us understand what the conditions were like in our Parish as ‘royal celebrations’ became honoured locally right up to the modern day.

  • A Message from Your County Councillor - September 2018
    A Message from your County Councillor - September 2018 As ever, Local Government’s quietest month August was followed by the busiest September. Thank goodness for two full days at the Hop Festival joined this year, for the first time, by my eldest grandson on day one. Local meetings and issues have dominated this month. These have included further meetings with residents together with Kent Highways to discuss flooding in Lynsted, Doddington and Bapchild. Some works have already been undertaken, a lot more are in the pipeline if you will excuse the pun. I have continued to visit Parish Councils to discuss the update to Swale’s Corporate Plan. This month we have debated with Parish Councillors and residents at Ospringe, Rodmersham, Hartlip, Dunkirk and Minster on Sheppey. In addition to these I have made my regular visits to Tunstall, Eastling, Sheldwich, Badlesmere and Leaveland, Selling and Stalisfield Parish Councils. I also tried to get to Bapchild Parish Council after the meeting at Minster on the Isle of Sheppey only to find they had finished! I did though arrive in time for a “catch up” with both the Chairman and the Clerk in the Village Hall car park. Also, in a localist vein I attended a meeting of the President and Vice- Presidents of the Kent Association of Local Councils and later in the month a Saturday morning Executive Meeting of the same body. There has also been a Swale Joint Transport Board and a Swale Rural Policing meeting with Swale Police and the National Farmers Union to Chair. I have had two trips to London in September, one for the National Executive Board of District Councils and one for the Executive of South East England Councils.
