TW10 Bus Service

On the 23 April 2019 Go-Coaches, who operate the TW10 bus, withdrew the service that covers the route from Addington to Tunbridge Wells.

The Great British Spring Clean

Once again the Parish Council is unable to take part in the Great British Spring Clean or indeed any regular litter picking group because we don’t have any roads in the village with a 30mph or less speed limit. T&MBC strongly advises against litter picking on roads above this speed and will not provide any insurance. The Parish Council remains committed to trying to get a speed reduction on all the roads in the village.

Hand Car Wash at The Vineyard Restaurant

We are delighted that the Planning Inspector has dismissed an appeal for a hand car wash in the car park of the former Vineyard restaurant.

Crime Update – puppy and dog theft

Crime levels have been low during the Lockdown puppy and dog theft is also very high at the moment as the pandemic has led to an increase in pet ownership.

Crime Update – Shed break-ins

Crime levels have been low during the lockdown but there has been a spate of shed break-ins so please do make sure you secure sheds and outbuildings.

Handyperson

The Parish Council are considering employing a handyperson to undertake light physical duties which will be predominantly outdoors; routine maintenance and inspection under the direction and management of the Council.
