Kent County Council Conservative Finance spokesman has said he had not been consulted by David Cameron before he announced his Big Idea of capping Council Tax for the first two years of a Conservative Government. The Conservative Cabinet Member said that KCC would have to cut over £80 million from its budget if Council Tax was not to go up next year, and that this would be "a difficult challenge" to achieve. Asked by Trudy if he thought David Cameron's idea was therefore practical, Mr Chard did not answer.

We are sad to say that, since Elvie Lowe managed to get the area around the garages in Middletune Avenue cleaned up, some irresponsible people have once again been dumping rubbish there. We will once again be pressing the owners to clean-up but it may well mean another lengthy and costly legal battle. We would once again urge everyone to dispose of their unwanted items responsibly.
