DID YOU KNOW?
In 2010 your local Citizens Advice Bureau helped 4,700 local people deal with over 17,000 concerns. Although we receive invaluable support from Sevenoaks District Council, we have lost significant public funding in the past two years.
We need to find new sources of funding to maintain our services. This will come mainly from charitable donations and community support.
We need your support. If you can help us, please contact Colin Logier at funding@sevenoaksdistrictcab.org.uk

VILLAGE HALL COMMITTEE

The hall committee meets bi-monthly to discuss all aspects of running our village hall and currently consists of parish councillors (since the Parish Council owns and runs the
village hall) and user group representatives. At its last meeting the committee considered that one or two non users might have a different perspective to bring to the committee. These would be voluntary and non-voting positions. If you would like to be considered for either of these places and have something to offer, please contact the parish clerk in writing giving brief details about yourself. The meetings are held in the hall at 7.30 pm and are on Thursdays following the first Monday in Jan, Mar, May, Jul, Sept and Nov. Parish Clerk, Village Hall, Horton Road, South Darenth, DA4 9DP

ALLOTMENTS

There are one or two half plots available on the Horton Road allotment site (behind the hopfields near the village hall). Contact the parish clerk (01322 865193) if you are interested. Plots are allocated to parish residents in the first instance.

NEW PHONE NUMBER FOR THE POLICE
An easy-to-remember 101 is the number to use for all problems that require the Police but are not as urgent as 999 which should still be used when there is crime taking place. This replaces the Swanley neighbourhood number that has been published in our newsletters.

FAMILY HISTORY

The Parish Council gets many requests from those researching their family history. Unfortunately the Council cannot help as it does not hold any records that can be of any use.

A new website for walkers in Kent There’s no doubt about it, walking is good for you.
