Following the general election the Parish Council invited our new local MP’s Sojan Joseph MP for Ashford and Katie Lam MP for Weald of Kent to meet with us and discuss strategic issues that were relevant to the Parish. We put forward our concerns about growth without adequate infrastructure, waste water management and resourcing our public services like the Environment Agency that we look to for technical advice and guidance.
We also met with ABC planning officers to discuss the emerging local plan, how and when we should respond and the timing of workshops for residents.
We have also agreed our business plan and identified several projects that we will be consulting residents on in the next couple of months as this will help to inform our priorities and budget going forward.
Look out for our newsletter and please respond to the consultation links it will contain and help shape the future for the Kingsnorth Parish.
We wish all our residents a very happy and healthy new year.
