A message from the Chairman of Sellindge and District Residents’ Association - Ronald Lello
Dear Resident,
It is always very difficult to keep one’s output of energy at maximum. Long distance runners certainly can sprint but not for long. We too have to pace ourselves as we confront the various threats to family life in our village.
At our last village meeting it was suggested we meet again at around this time. However, we are still awaiting official publication of the Shepway recommended Core Strategy proposals. Shepway also appear to have gone ahead to grant planning permission for Test Masts for the proposed wind Turbines without informing Sellindge Parish Council of the meeting and we are not certain what will arise from that and whether the granting of permission is legally valid. And there are other unresolved issues. It therefore seems sensible to delay a village meeting until after the August holiday period.
Accordingly, we have booked the Sellindge school hall for Thursday 1st September for a meeting at 7.30pm. This will be an all-important meeting because it will concern the design of this village for the next 25 years or more. Shepway have distinguished themselves by ensuring that we are consulted and are able to make a contribution to what happens. Therefore your views can have some effect. So please do make every effort to attend on the 1st September. We shall make an effort to bring to your attention what the proposals are and what the various responses might be to them.
We shall also be able to report on an up to date account of Otterpool and the other issues including the Lorry Park.
Let us pray for better weather and hope everyone can enjoy the summer month to come,
Kindest Regards
Ronald Lello
