Kent's Plan Bee release the Community Pollinator Toolkit and Pollinators of Kent guide

Published: 15 May 25

Dear Parish/Town Council, Please find attached our new guides from Kent County Council’s Kent’s Plan Bee, intended to help the community identify, appreciate and take actions to help Kent’s pollinating insects. The Community Pollinator Toolkit is primarily aimed at those groups, such as yourselves, community gardens and ‘Friends’ groups, who may be managing small areas of land and wish to enhance them in some way for pollinators and other wildlife. Inside are a wide variety of suggested actions together with links to more detailed information and organisations who can help in various ways. Pollinators of Kent is an introductory guide to those insects that pollinate our crops, ornamental plants and wildflowers and is intended to both compliment the Toolkit and act as a general educational resource. We hope you find these documents useful and would be very interested to hear your feedback, so that we can improve future versions. Please feel free to share them as widely as you wish or direct people to our webpages (address below), where they will be available very soon. Read More...

Upper Street, Kingsdown- Gritting

Published: 21 Nov 24

Following the first gritter run of the season unfortunately KCC Highways had to abandon the run down Upper Street, Kingsdown. This was due to parked vehicles causing obstructions for the gritter not enabling them to pass. We kindly ask the parishioners to park in a more considerate manner baring the gritters in mind this winter. If there is no improvement, KCC Highways will need to revise this route, as taking the gamble to get through and then getting stuck trying to reverse out. Is an accident waiting to happen here KCC Highways is afraid. Read More...
