Today I attended a sub group of the Planning Transport and Development OSC-Scrutiny meeting at 10 am at Maidstone House and then went to an Open Spaces meeting of the Parish Council at 8pm, which went on to about 10pm. During the day I went to see Planning Officers to talk about Enforcement issues of places that concern and discuss an exercise of "Community Cohesion" in the area that I have been involved with. ( More on this elsewhere!)
On Tuesday morning the 18th I met members of Boughton Malherbe Parish Council to discuss a petition to present to Joint Transport Board. Grafty Green and Liverton Hill/Platts Heath has a narrow road on a sharp hill that has lots of spring water and heavy rain water movement. Lorries use this a "short cut or rat run" to get to the Lower Weald or even as far as Hastings and Tonbridge areas. Its excessive, dangerous, awkward and the roads are not fit for that purpose, so the petition is to stop or at least control this activity.
A budget Group meeting followed in the afternoon in the Town Hall and then a Planning TD OSC meeting at 6.30pm to 10pm. I mentioned the problem with parking in Headcorn because of Rail users during a Rail Services Review. We resolved to request South Eastern Rail examine this and try to reduce parking costs and encourage rail user to park at the station. We then discussed other issues relating to transport where I again asked for cycling routes/walkways/buggy paths to be considered as a Section 106/CIL condition for plans.
