The existing electoral arrangements have been reviewed in full to reflect the new ward. • It is recommended FE1 is extended to include the 348 electors from FE2 in the northern part of Green Lane, Ingoldsby Road, Tennyson Place, Browning Place, Tyson Road, eastern part of Wood Avenue, Northwest Dover Road and South part of Hill Road. • Wood Avenue Library can be made a double polling station for electors in FP1. The staff at St Saviours Church have informed the Elections Team that its future is uncertain and recommended using an alternative venue. Page 6 of 57 • FF3 and the 577 electors of FP5 can be combined into a new polling district of 1203 electors and continue to vote at St Johns Church Hall. • To rename the Polling District names FF1 to EF1, FF2 to EF2, FF3 & part of FP5 to EF3, FP1 to EF4 and FE1 & part of FE2 to EF5. Folkestone and Hythe Labour Party Proposal • Electors in Park Farm Road, Downside, Moat Farm Road and Moat Farm Close should instead vote as part of the new PD serving the new ward of East Folkestone at St John the Baptist Church Hall on St Johns Road. To walk is over 0.6 miles down alleys and poorly lit areas. To drive is over a mile which is ludicrous in a built up area such as Folkestone. The driving distance to St Johns Road is approximately a third of a mile and considerably closer. • Polling district of FF2 is redrawn to enable all electors on the west side of Black Bull Road, namely Black Bull Road (odds), Watkin Road, Russell Road, Bonsor Road, Albert Road, Allendale Road, Garden Road, Mead Road, Walton Road, Jesmond Street and Edward Road to vote at St Johns the Baptist Church Hall on St Johns Road as it is considerably closer and more accessible for voters. General Purposes Committee 02 September 2014: Resolved: That wards EF1 and EF2 are amalgamated to use the same polling station situated at the Salvation Army Citadel. Councillor Paul Marsh provided comments in addition to those at General Purposes Committee on 02 September 2014: One of the suggestions adopted by the committee was the combining of EF1 and EF2 into one polling district. At the time I meant to suggest the same for EF4 and EF5. Page 7 of 57 Although, the combined electorate would be slightly above the recommended 2500; but in actual fact would end up with exactly the same number of voters allocated to attend Wood Avenue Library. It would also have the same benefits as the combination of EF1 and EF2; namely being a more logical split on alphabetic position, rather than a geographical split that has no meaning to the voters. Additional Returning Officer comments: Even though the amalgamation of EF4 and EF5 results in an electorate above the Electoral Commission guidelines, this arrangement provides electors with a more streamline polling station experience and should result in less elector confusion. The recommendations from General Purposes Committee on 02 September 2014 and Councillor Marsh, will amend the initially proposed Polling District names to the following: FF1 and FF2 to EF1, FF3 & part of FP5 to EF2 and FP1, FE1 & part of FE2 to EF3.

The existing polling arrangements must be reviewed in full to reflect the new ward. It is recommended that: • FH1 and FHC4 are combined and the use of the Tourist Information Centre is continued. The new electorate will be 920. • Electors in the existing FH2 use Dover Road Social Club as a polling station. The Social Club was trialled during the recent European Election and received excellent feedback. The existing polling station at Pembroke Court has no disabled access, access is through a raised patio door and electors have the potential to enter the residential areas of the residential home. • Electors in FH3 use the Harbour Church, Wear Bay Road as a polling station. The Harbour Church has recently undergone refurbishment and provides the latest accessibility features. The current polling station at Phillippa House is sheltered housing and incidents between the election staff and residents have occurred during the last few elections. There is also the risk of electors entering other areas where vulnerable adults reside. The housing manager has requested the

    PARISH OF POSTLING ANNUAL PARISH MEETING 2016 DRAFT Minutes of Postling Annual Parish Meeting held at Parish Village Hall on Wednesday 25 May 2016 starting at 7.30pm. PRESENT: Cllr Frank Hobbs (Chair), Cllr Christine Hobbs, Cllr John Elphick, Cllr Helen Calderbank, Jo Maher (Clerk), County District Councillor Susan Carey, KALC Chairman Ray Evison, Clive Adsett, Christine Webb, Tony Van Eldik, Marieke Van Eldik, Pat Elphick, Jan Wood, Derek Wood, Jenny Mannion 1) APOLOGIES: District Councillor Jenny Hollingsbee, Cllr John Pattrick, Cllr Charlie Wilkins, Cllr Jane Reynolds, Chris Reynolds, Gill Dixon 2) MINUTES OF THE PREVIOUS MEETING: The Minutes of the previous Annual Parish Meeting held on Wednesday 20 May 2015 were approved and signed by the Chair. This was proposed by Cllr Elphick, seconded by Cllr Christine Hobbs and unanimously agreed. 3) CHAIRMAN’s REPORT: Your Parish Council had another busy year. We are currently threatened by major developments in the area. The on-going consultation about the lorry park at Junction 11 was expected to report some time ago on the preferred site, but there is no news yet, and now probably won’t be released until after the referendum. This could have a knock-on effect on the sand extraction site if they chose Option 2. And now there is the proposal from Shepway DC for a “garden town” running on the southern side of the motorway from Junction 11 to the western edge of Sellindge, no doubt Cllr Carey will enlighten us more in her report. We have been invited to a meeting at SDC early next month, along with the other affected parishes, to be briefed fully on the proposed project.

    Some Problems of the North Downs Trackway in Kent

    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society SOME PROBLEMS OF THE NORTH DOWNS TRACKWAY IN KENT By REV. H. W. R. Liman, S.J., M.A.(0xon.) THE importance of this pre-historic route from the Continent to the ancient habitat of man in Wiltshire has long been recognized. In the Surrey Archceological Collections of 1964 will be found an attempted re-appraisal of its route through the county of Surrey. Although the problems connected with its passage through Kent are fewer owing to its being better preserved, there are some points which I think still deserve attention—the three river crossings of the Darenth, the Medway and the Stour; the crossing of the Elham valley; and the passage to Canterbury of the branch route from Eastwell Park, known as the Pilgrims' Way. It may be worth while, before dealing with the actual crossings, to note a few general characteristics. Mr. I. D. Margary—our most eminent authority on ancient roads in Britain—has pointed out the dual nature of this trackway. It com- prises a Ridgeway and a Terraceway. The first runs along the crest of the escarpment. The second runs parallel to it, usually at the point below the escarpment where the slope flattens out into cultivation. In Kent for the most part the Terraceway has survived more effectually than the Ridgeway. It is for much of its length used as a modern road, marked by the familiar sign 'Pilgrims' Way'. Except at its eastern terminus the Ridgeway has not been so lucky, although it can be traced fairly accurately by those who take the trouble to do so.

  • Notes on the Probable Course of the Roman Road from Lympne to Dover

    Notes on the Probable Course of the Roman Road from Lympne to Dover

    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 62 1949 NOTES ON THE PROBABLE COURSE OF THE ROMAN ROAD FROM LYMPNE TO DOVER By IVAN D. MARGARY, F.S.A. THE existence of a Roman road connecting Lympne with. Dover is attested by its actual appearance upon the diagrammatic map known as the Peutinger Table. No traces of the road had, however, been identified, and the growth of Folkestone and its outskirts has now put much of the probable route beyond direct investigation. Some notes were put forward by the late S. E. Winbolt in his book Roman Folkestone (Methuen, 1925) as a tentative approach to the subject, and it was with a view to testing these on the ground that the present investigation was made. There is general agreement that the existing road along the old cliffs at Lympne represents the Roman road. East of Shipway Cross it bends a good deal and is probably an old ridgeway track rather than an engineered road, but there seems no reason to disregard it as a part of the route on that account. We thus arrive at the crossing of the Brockhill Stream, just at the western entry to Hythe, and it seems clear that the trackway is directly continued by an old lane, now in part only a footpath, straight up the hill north-eastwards to Saltwood, making no doubt for the hills inland. Consideration of the eastward course of a Roman road from this point is very largely determined by the topography, which here shows marked features some of which would entirely preclude the making of a direct road.

Summary The district is rich in archaeological evidence beginning from the first occupations by early humans in Britain 800,000 years ago through to the twentieth century. The archaeological remains are in many forms such as ruins, standing monuments and buried archaeology and all attest to a distinctive Kentish history as well as its significant geographical position as a gateway to the continent. Through the district’s archaeology it is possible to track the evolution of Kent as well as the changing cultures, ideas, trade and movement of different peoples into and out of Britain. The District’s role in the defence of the country is also highlighted in its archaeology and forms an important part of the archaeological record for this part of the British southern coastline.

Appendix W2 – Letter to householder and housing needs survey 53 2 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Rural Housing Enabler (RHE) undertook a parish wide survey to ascertain if there are shortfalls in affordable housing provision within the parish of Wye with Hinxhill. The survey also sought to identify the needs of older households of all tenures needing to downsize/move to more suitable accommodation. This report provides overall information as well as analysis of housing need. A survey was posted to every household within the parish in July 2018. 1200 surveys were distributed with 387 surveys being returned, representing a 32% response rate. Analysis of the returned survey forms identified that 75% of respondents are owner occupiers. 55% of respondents have lived in the parish for over 10 years. High property prices and a predominance of privately owned homes means that some local people are unable to afford a home within the parish. At the time of writing the report the cheapest property for sale was a 3 bed bungalow for £275,000; to afford to buy this a deposit of approximately £41,250 would be required and an income of £66,786.
