At our February meeting we were
entertained wih a talk and slides by Mr C
Baldwin entitled ‘Beer, Baccy and a Hundred
Years of Smuggling’. He pointed out that
smuggling still goes on today by the avoidance
of tax by those who bring back duty free goods
from abroadbut we don’t get hung for doing it
today!
We were given a very interesting
talk of the natural history of Kent ranging from
RSPB conservation area at Dungeness to Sandwich
Bay with slides of birds, butterflies and plant
life. Did you know that the area of shingle
starting at Dungeness is the largest shingle
peninsular in the world? We didn’t either. |

NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH Recently in Wingham a robbery
took place whereby the handbag of a lady who was
standing at a bus stop, was stolen by a passing
vehicle. This is the first kind of robbery we
have had using this action. In the past in
Folkestone we have had vehicles pull up to
people and the occupant will ask for directions
and then say they cannot hear what is being
said. When ladies then take a step closer their
handbag has been snatched. Please be aware of
this type of crime. We need to be mindful of the
whereabouts of a bag at all times and to make
sure you do not go out with more money than you
anticipate spending. Never take your jewellery
out of the house believing that it is safer in
your handbag. THE ROYAL BRITISH LEGION – Elham Valley
Branch I would like to invite you as a
guest to a talk by Major McNeilly who spent 20
years as Musical Director to the Sultan of Oman.
He developed several military bands for the
Sultan including the Oman Philharmonic
Orchestra. Tea and biscuits provided at 4.00pm
followed by the talk at 4.15pm. Admision free.

Lyminge Parish Council have agreed a programme of improvements for the coming financial year whilst, holding the precept at the same level for over 4 years. Campaigns to improve road safety are finally becoming reality, using and acting upon the Parish Plan Survey information. Whilst working within our small annual budget we have agreed a plan of spending to help meet the wishes of residents and Councillors alike. Detailed later are our road safety improvements which we felt were a absolute priority whilst some other smaller but important wishes will be addressed this year. NOTICE BOARDS - Residents expressed a wish to see more information display within the Parish. New Oak notice boards will be provided which will be available for all groups to use whilst also enhancing the appearance of our villages. IMPROVING ACCESS OF PLAY EQUIPMENT Well Field swings etc are not accessible during the whole Autumn/Winter period. Due to the natural flooding of this wetland meadow it has been agreed that we will investigate moving this facility to a dryer area in Tayne Field. NATURE RESERVE The PC is investigating designating and developing Well Field as a Nature, picnic and educational area to encourage learning and enhance the area for children and adults alike. DOG BINS The PC is also investigating providing these much requested facilities but this will depend upon Shepway's ability and agreement to empty these bins. IMPROVING VILLAGE LIFE LEISURE FACILITIES ARE GO !!!!! The Parish Council welcomed the news that planning permission has been granted for the new leisure facilities located on Jubilee Filed. The whole Council agreed that this new and exciting project will provide a valuable and much needed area for all residents to enjoy. The Parish Council are committed to working with the community to provide a better environment for us all to enjoy. We have encouraged Lyminge Youth Action to involve young people in the development of this scheme and we understand that negotiations have begun to involve the Local Primary School. It is hoped that young people will help to plant the native hedgerow and specimen trees providing educational value and just good fun. If you would like to find out how you could help please leave your details at the Library and LYA Committee a member will contact you. Special points of interest:
ROAD SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS FOR LYMINGE Lyminge Parish Council have been campaigning for improvements in road safety for many years. The PC supported the footpath across the golf course linking Etchinghill and Lyminge but had grave concerns over the dangerous lack of footpath outside Broadstreet House Lyminge. Councillors were so concerned that this is an accident waiting to happen with parents and children walking to school along this route that we lobbied Kent County Council to resolve this danger. Unfortunately KCC due to budget constraints are unable to fund this footpath. Lyminge Parish Council feel so strongly about this danger that we have decided to use some of our reserves to fund this footpath and costings are currently being ascertained. Also approved and due to commence immediately are the gateway and zebra crossing at the south End of Lyminge village. Many years of campaigning have resulted in KCC funding these two much needed road safety improvements. With the footpath this will provide a complete safe link between the two communities of Lyminge and Etchinghill. Access will be improved also for residents of Lyminge and Etchinghill to all village facilities including Age Concern, the Doctors Surgery, Village Halls, Methodist and Parish Churches, Leisure Facilities, Golf Course and the School. A sample survey was conducted to ascertain the viability of a crossing at the commercial end of Lyminge but residents and businesses directly effected did raise both valid objections and support. A sub committee of the PC has been established to look at road safety and parking issues within the Parish using Parish Plan findings and we will report on their findings in the future MAKE A
REAL DIFFERENCE As you have read in this and previous newsletters your Parish Council is pro-active and committed to making a difference. It may take time but we can encourage, support or take direct action in enhancing the lives and environment of the whole Parish. We have a number of vacancies on the Parish Council and would welcome residents who are keen to develop the WHOLE Parish not just a single issue. Yes you do have to give up some free time but when something you believe in becomes reality you can't beat that feeling of achievement. Come along to our next meeting or give us a call, we don't bite (well only sometimes) for an informal chat. Contact either Derrick, Glenn or Patsy on the numbers below. Make a difference today!
