Since the end of April Jean Wood of South Darenth has been working in the parish office helping visitors with their various enquiries during the office hours of 9.30 to 11.30 am. She is on hand to deal with village hall booking enquiries and selling recycling and garden waste sacks as well as getting to grips with the many activities covered by the parish council's work.
Jean says: " I am delighted to be working as Carol's assistant and hope to prove helpful. I am looking forward to seeing the folk I know and getting to know more of the parish residents as they call at the office."
Four very able candidates were interviewed and the parish council would like to thank all who applied for their interest in the job.

REAR FOOTPATH RUBBISH CLEARED
Local resident Mrs Warren has asked us to say a big thank you to Network Rail for clearing the huge amounts of rubbish from the alley between Horton Road and New Road properties and the embankment. This area had been a dumping ground for so long that it had become an eyesore and the smell was atrocious. Mrs Warren appeals to all householders to do all they can to keep the path clean and she hopes that no further dumping will take place. Meanwhile, residents from further up New Road are, at the time of writing, still waiting for rubbish from the embankment to be cleared from behind their houses. They would ask all neighbours to help by phoning Network Rail at Waterloo on 08457 114141
