ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
Friday 1st May 2015 - 7.30 for 8pm
Elham Village Hall
All welcome
Our February afternoon meeting had
yet another ‘foodie theme’ when Helen
Howard came and talked to us about
snail farming and the business she and
her daughter have developed. The
edible snails hatch and take about six
months to grow ready for the table, hibernating in the
winter and living out on the allotment in wire pens
during the summer where they enjoy a diet of fruit and
veg. A different and interesting topic which everyone
enjoyed.
Don’t forget the coffee morning on Saturday 14th March
10am, donations for the cake stall would be much
appreciated, in aid of the MS Therapy Centre
Canterbury. St Mary’s Church Hall.

Please donate an hour of your time
Battersea Dogs & Cats Home is
organising two bucket collections in
your area. Funds raised will help to care
for and rehome the many dogs and cats
that arrive at their doors in London, Brands Hatch and
Windsor every day. These events are only possible with
the help of people like you. Please can you donate one
hour of your time to collect for Battersea?
The collections will take place on:
Wednesday 8th April 2015 at Canterbury Garden
Centre on Canterbury Road, 11am to 3pm, and
Saturday 23rd May 2015 at Canterbury Chartham
Garden Centre on Ashford Road, 11am to 3pm
Volunteers will be briefed prior to the event, so all you
need to do is arrange your collection time and then
show up on the day and grab a bucket! The Home
receives no government funding and this year needs to
raise over £18m through voluntary donations, so your
help will be much appreciated.
If you’d like to make a difference for animals in this fun
and simple way, please contact Battersea’s Regional
Community Fundraiser, Victoria Lawrence on 07590
173456 or at v.lawrence@battersea.org.uk. Thank you.
With new attractions and displays the Elham Valley
Line Trust opens its gates on 28th March for the

crafts from wood turning through sculptures to
handicrafts and an excellent café. Eurotunnel
personnel carriers and locomotives are on display
along with an 1892 Leas Cliff lift carriage positioned

Follow the Tangled Nature Trail over the
embankment past the Dipping Pond to the Railway
Museum (admission charges apply) where, weather
permitting, miniature train rides can be enjoyed in
between posing as a signalman or gazing in awe at the
Eurotunnel models.
Open every weekend and Bank Holiday from 28th
March to end of November from 10 am to 5 pm.
Ample parking and mostly disabled friendly. Check
the website - www.elhamvalleylinetrust.org - for

When was the last time you
looked at your pet’s teeth? Did
you know that 4 out of every 5
cats and dogs over the age of 4
will have some signs of dental disease and it’s commonly
overlooked by their owners.
Signs to look out for are bad breath, red, inflamed or
bleeding gums, stained teeth, loose teeth, changes in eating
behaviour such as preferring soft food, weight loss,
drooling, pawing at the face and decreased grooming.
Dental disease is a real concern because it is very painful.
Many animals may only show very subtle signs of this pain
and it can be easily missed. It is often only once they have
been treated that you see a marked improvement in how
the animal behaves. Many people have told us that their
dogs are like puppies again after they have had dental
treatment!
There are a number of things that you can do at home to
help limit the development of dental disease. The best is to
brush your pet’s teeth daily as this helps to remove the
build up of food and bacteria before it causes damage.
Most animals will tolerate this well although it can take
some time for them to get used to it! Others will never let
you do this and it is important to ensure that you don’t
put yourself at risk!
Feeding dry food rather than wet will help reduce the
speed at which tartar builds up and chewing dental chews
and raw hide will help to breakdown the tartar on the
surface of the teeth.
At Bourne Veterinary Practice we have dental X-ray
equipment and can offer dental treatment including scale
and polish and extractions of any
infected and damaged teeth.
If you are concerned at all about
the state of your pet’s teeth
please give us a call on 01227

Problems with Southern Water – Update 4
Following the Open Meeting with representatives from
Southern Water, The Environment Agency, the Parish
Council and Shepway District Council which took place
on 26th June 2014 in The Village Hall, we were quite
disappointed with what we heard from Paul Kent of
Southern Water.
However, 8 months down the line, I think it is worth
recording the progress that has been made and the
works that have been carried out by Southern Water in
the meantime. We have kept our channel of
communication with them very open and have been
getting periodic updates from both our customer care
lead, Barry Woodham, and Paul Kent, Southern Water
Strategy Manager.
At the meeting, Southern Water undertook to do the
following:
Jetting the sewers twice a year instead of once.
Jetting the sewer line to remove roots in one of the
lines.
Replacement of the liner in the sewer under Hog Green.
All these activities have been actioned.
Also the following remedial works have been
undertaken:
Two brand new pumps have been installed at the
Ottinge pumping station.
Some manholes have been sealed in the area of The
Orchards. This is to try and stop surface water from
getting into the system rather than to stop sewerage
getting out.
Two non-return valves have been fitted in the drains at
the bottom of Duck Street.
Flows in Elham and Ottinge are being monitored on a
weekly basis which also includes operator attendance to
the Ottinge pumping station on a weekly basis to check
the condition of the pumps and well levels.
The alarm at The Orchards pumping station has been
adjusted to provide a more effective early warning
system to the Regional Control Centre at Southern
Water.
An emergency plan has been ratified to include tanker
attendance within 2 hours to both The Orchards and
Ottinge.
So, from a position of feeling quite despondent, the care
and attention that has been delivered by Southern
Water goes much further than was initially indicated,
and we feel more optimistic that any future problems
will have much less impact than last year.
We are very grateful for all this activity and, although
only time will tell how effective these initiatives are, the
reaction from Southern Water has been much more
constructive and far-reaching than in the aftermath of
flooding in February 2001.
Finally, just a reminder to try and avoid putting fat or
wipes down the drain; Southern Water say that these
are the things which seem to cause more problems than
anything else (apart from the weather!!).

*Report of Meeting of Elham Parish Council held at Elham Village Hall on 2nd February 2015
Present: Cllrs. J. Buss (Vice Chairman in the Chair), C. Johnson,
G. Palmer, K. Percival, and M. Turner.
In attendance: Mrs J. Martin, Locum Clerk, District Cllr. Miss P.
Carr, Mr Gary Harrison, Kent CC Community Warden, and three
members of the public.
Apologies for Absence: Cllrs. Mrs K. Baker, G. Clements, Mrs S.
Jacob and Miss B. Williamson, Chairman. County Cllr. Miss Susan
Carey Public Session: Proposed Mobile Phone Mast at Thomas Acre
Farm – enquiries would be made to find out whether a proposal
last Autumn had progressed.
Request for Defibrillator – Mrs Jan Stanyon had noticed that Elham
lacked a defibrillator. She had helped secure one for her last village
and was willing to help fund-raise. Cllr. Turner had been
approached with a similar request. This would be included on the
March agenda.
District Councillor’s Report: Cllr. Miss Carr apologised for
absence from the last meeting. The Boundary Commission had
reduced the number of Shepway councillors from 46 to 30 with
effect from the forthcoming May elections, which would save
money. After the elections, training would be provided at the Civic
Centre for new District, Town and Parish councillors, to include
Planning. The 2015/16 Budget would be set the week after next,
with no increase in Council Tax. She would contact the Chairman
about getting the play area bin emptied regularly.
Kent CC Community Warden’s Report: Mr Harrison warned
residents to be vigilant, following the theft of heating oil from the
Rose and Crown. It was believed that thieves followed oil delivery
vehicles, watching new supplies being delivered. A very successful
rural crime exercise by the Police and other agencies, had included
looking for hare-coursing, fly-tipping, untaxed vehicles, driving
without insurance, use of “red diesel” and off-road motor-bikes.
There was a suspected abandoned vehicle by the Old Police House
in Canterbury Road, which Cllr. Percival would look at in the
morning. Cllr. Buss would report a scaffolding pole and plank at
the junction of Park Lane and High Street.
Minutes: The minutes of the meeting on 5 January 2015 were
adopted. They were duly signed as a correct record.
Matters Arising not already on the Agenda: EEG Carbon
Audit – Cllr. Johnson had received the £100 cheque. Mobile Homes
in Mill Hill – the trailer had been moved. There were no longer any
mobile homes outside the property.
County Councillor’s Report: Cllr. Miss Carey was unable to
attend the meeting but had alerted the Parish Council to the
proposed road closure at Beachborough. Resurfacing works were
planned from Monday 16 February for four days, between 7am and
5pm. Traffic would be diverted via the A20 Ashford Road, Sandling
Road and Canterbury Road. Kent CC’s Notice had been posted on
the Parish Council’s website. Cllr. Percival would put one on the
notice-board.
Highways, Footpaths and Flooding: Request for Footpath
opposite Brown's – a site meeting would be arranged with Pauline
Rockett, District Highways Manager, Kent CC. Overnight Lorry
Parking: Boxley Parish Council had written to their MP calling for
the Government to introduce legislation to stop illegal lorry
parking. As areas of Shepway had the same problem, there were
fears that this could spread to the Parish. The Clerk would ask
Shepway DC for a policy statement, as large lorries were already
passing through the village early in the morning. There was also
concern over recent problems generated by Operation Stack and
plans for parking substantially more lorries in the Folkestone area
when Channel crossings were delayed.
Drainage Problem: in Longage Hill, Rhodes Minnis – residents of
The Ramblers and The Sycamores were experiencing drainage
problems from the road outside, with flooding to property and
gardens. This had been referred to Kent CC Highways, who hoped
to cleanse the gullies and investigate further whilst the road was
closed for forthcoming carriageway patching.
Flooding: the river was flowing normally for the time of year and
groundwater levels were satisfactory. No major rain or snowfall
was forecast next week, but a watching brief was being kept.
Although the Environment Agency had cleared the river, cut
vegetation had been left on the banks, especially between Water
Farm and the Station Master’s House. Cllr. Percival would brief the
Clerk.
Planning Committee Planning Applications:
Y14/1264/SH - Mr. Nieman, Upper Park Gate Farm, Elham Park,
Elham. Conversion and extension of existing building to create a
self-contained holiday let.
Y14/1265/SH - Mr. Nieman, Upper Park Gate Farm, Elham Park,
Elham. Erection and a replacement building to create a self-
contained holiday let.
It was unanimously agreed to recommend that whilst there was no
objection to the proposal in principle, a condition be imposed to
ensure that the proposed accommodation remain solely for the
purpose of holiday lets.
Burial Ground and Closed Churchyard; The Elham Historical
Society had completed a survey of all headstones in the Closed
Burial Ground, including Health and Safety checks. Regular
headstone “touch tests” needed to be done in both burial grounds
and all potential H&S hazards logged and reported to the Parish
Council for action. The Clerk would buy two log books for Cllr.
Johnson (closed Burial Ground) and Cllr. Palmer (open Burial
Ground).
Annual Parish Meeting for Electors: The Annual Parish
Meeting was normally held in May, on the same evening as the
Annual General Meeting. To allow more time for both, it was
unanimously agreed to hold the APM on Monday 30 March and the
AGM on Monday 11 May, being first day new Members could take
office after the election. Cllr. Johnson would draw up a list of local
organisations who might like to report at the APM and the Clerk
would arrange for the event to be advertised in the Newsletter.
The April Parish Council meeting would be held on 13th, as the first
Monday of the month was Easter Monday.

Councillors’ Questions and Reports: Recruitment of New
Councillors - Cllr. Johnson was concerned that candidates without
computers might be deterred from seeking office. Assurance was
given that this was open to all.
Key for The Orchards – Cllr. Percival said that two keys were
needed. This would be pursued.
Drain Clearance - Cllr. Palmer reported that jetting had not yet
been done at North Elham, Elham High Street, and Ottinge.
Vicarage Lane and Hog Green had been done, but unless prior
notice was given of scheduled visits, parked cars prevented full
coverage.
Bank in Front of Caisters – Cllr. Turner had received a complaint
about the condition of the bank, which was being eroded by
vehicles driving over the kerb to pass oncoming traffic. Bollards had
been installed, but quickly removed without proper consultation.
This would be raised at the site meeting with Pauline Rockett .
The meeting closed at 9.20pm. * Report based on unconfirmed

volunteers in Elham for a lovely 6 year old black
Labrador who would love to go for a good walk.
What happens if illness, injury or just getting older
affects our ability to look after our four legged
companions? Elderly or ill pet owners become worried
about their ability to care for their pets feeling that their

national network of dedicated volunteers step in to
offer support enabling them to stay together.
We’ll walk the dog for a housebound owner, we’ll
foster pets when owners need hospital care, we’ll fetch
the cat food, even clean out the bird cage or litter trays.
We are always seeking new volunteers even if you can
only spare an hour a week we would love to hear from
you. If anyone can help please call during office hours

From your County
Councillor Did you hear the interview on Radio
Kent with Kent County Council Leader
Paul Carter about the budget on 12 February? The
interviewer said he’d totted up at least £250m of savings
over the last three years and not many people had noticed a
change in services so had the council been ‘fat and lazy’ in
the past? It’s a legitimate question although maybe not a
kind way of putting it.
If we finish this financial year on budget (and it will be tight),
KCC will have made savings of £350m over the last four
years and faces future savings of £209m over the next three
years. The savings are a mixture of reduced grants from
central government, price increases and increased demand
for services particularly in social care.
New technology has been one of the ways we’ve made
savings as it has enabled many services to be streamlined and
go online (which is increasingly how our residents want to
deal with us). Managers now routinely use IT systems for
budget and personnel work rather than have specialist staff
do this for them. We increasingly outsource work to
external bodies where they can offer the same or better
service for less cost such as the Coram charity taking on our
adoption work.
Pre 2010, we used to receive many ‘ringfenced’ grants which
could only be spent on specific areas and were often very
prescriptive; an example of this was the very detailed
specification for how children centres should be run which
allowed no latitude for what type of area they were serving.
Whilst our grants are much reduced the ringfencing has
largely disappeared which means we can better match
resources to local priorities.
We’ve recruited a team of procurement specialists and
better procurement has so far saved £20m and increased
the proportion of business being awarded to Kent based
firms to over 50%. We also have experts looking in great
detail at our social care systems to reduce the form filling
and increase the proportion of time spent with clients.
We’ve worked very hard to make sure the savings haven’t
impacted on frontline services so it’s frustrating to be
criticised that the cuts don’t show - that’s what we
wanted! However, there’s no doubt that it’s getting harder
to make savings. Household waste is one example of the
challenge we face with the amount of waste produced by
Kent residents on the rise. KCC is the ‘disposal authority’
which means we are legally obliged to take all the waste the
districts collect from householders. How do we get people
to create less waste? Elham’s Going Green group may have
some ideas when they return from their visit on 17 March
to the Allington incinerator and recycling plant.

No meeting to report on this month – just a few
reminders of events to come.
On Saturday 11th April we have our Spring Show and
Coffee Morning. We do hope lots of you are watching
and cherishing your daffodil and tulips as they push
through the soil and will enter as many as possible in the
various classes. There will be a Cake Stall and a Cake
Competition – we would be most grateful for any
contributions to the Cake Stall. The geranium plugs and
the potatoes for the “Potato in a Bucket” contest in the
Summer Show will be on sale on that morning – make
sure you buy early as they will not be available again.
DO come along and enjoy a sociable morning.
The compost ordered earlier in the winter will be
available for collection from the Village Hall on 6th March
from 9 am. Please make an effort to collect this on
time.
A gentle reminder about the payment of subscriptions –
there are still a few members who have not yet paid –
please tidy up this problem as soon as possible.
Meetings are held in the Peggy Pike Room of the Village
Hall at 7.30pm on the third Thursday of the month.
Visitors and friends are always welcome.

News from Elham Valley Cricket Club
News and indoor results
The two indoor teams made of mainly
junior / inexperienced players have
performed creditably in the Shepway indoor
league – with several youngsters playing for
the first time. At the time of writing the A team are
third in their division.
Hopefully the rest of Elham’s cricketers are all working
on their fitness programmes in advance of the new
season. Let’s hope they have not been watching for tips
from the English professionals in Australia – judging by
Englands ODI form!
Nets
It is hoped that nets will take place at the new indoor
facilities at Folkestone in late Mar / early Apr –
information will be available on the club website when
confirmed.
Quiz
The next in our regular series of Quiz nights will be held
on Friday 17th April starting at 7.30pm at Elham Village
Hall. Teams to consist of 6 to 8 people and an entrance
fee of £5 per person.
For more information please contact quiz master (well
he does have all the answers!), Frank Hobbs on 01303
862188.
