Update from All Saints’ Church
On behalf of the people and parish of All Saints', Graveney,
may I thank EVERYONE for their generosity, support and
encouragement while we have undergone massive interior
and exterior repairs and renovation work.
Without your support and generosity we could not have
achieved so much. The interior work is virtually completed
and looks absolutely beautiful... Come and have a look
round and enjoy the peace and tranquillity of this unique
church set in our community. Sadly, the church has to be
locked most of the time for security reasons but someone
will happily unlock for you should you wish to visit.
With many, many thanks and continued prayers for all who
live and work here.

Village sign update:
Parish Council News
5
No further update at this stage.
Parish Footpath Warden:
It was agreed to appoint Mr. Filipczak as the Parish Footpath
Warden and to pass on his details to Canterbury Ramblers
association. The Parish Footpath Warden is a voluntary role to
keep an eye on public rights of way within the Parish.
Correspondence:
Councillors were made aware of correspondence received.
There was a discussion on the light in Goodnestone that is still
causing concern for a resident. To adjust the light a hedge on
an adjacent property must be trimmed, the owner of the
property was present at the Parish Council meeting and was
happy to have the hedge trimmed as long as they were present
and appropriate insurance was in place.
Finance:
The Financial Statement and Bank Reconciliation were
provided to Councillors. A number of small payments were
approved including £231.14 for street light maintenance.
Planning:
Applications for; Sunnydene, Seasalter Road for a rear single
storey extension was noted and 29 Murton Place, a prior
notification for a proposed single storey extension, no
response was required.
It was also discussed whether there is a policy regarding
parking and it was noted there is not. Councillor Bobbin
offered to look into this.
Graveney & Goodnestone Trust:
6
No new applications submitted or expected. The next meeting
is in December.
Councillor Reports:
A resident had written regarding dustbins being left out on
pavements. It was agreed to write to the residents in question.
It was raised that dog waste is worse than ever. It was agreed
to place an article in the newsletter and to look into getting a
new dog waste bin in Nagden and to contact the dog warden.
The main road through Goodnestone is dangerous for
pedestrians. It was agreed to write to the farmer to remind
farm workers of the footpath through the field.
It was discussed if there could be a village clean-up. Swale
Borough Council have been asked about doing a deep clean.
The WI are interested in providing a defibrillator outside the
Freewheel Pub, however, the Parish Council would need to
insurer it and cover maintenance costs, which are expected to
be minimal.
The verge on the flyover is still very over grown.
A new signpost has been installed at Odin’s Path.
Any Other Business:
The village noticeboard in Goodnestone is out of date.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Parish Council News – October
The following is an edited summary of the Parish Council
meeting held Monday 10th October at 7:30pm in the Village
Hall.
7
Attended by 7 councillors, the Clerk, Andrew Bowles and George Bobbins (Borough Councillors) and 2 members of the public.
Matters Arising:
An update was provided regarding the Eco Merchants site.
Peter Hinckesman, Swale Borough Council Enforcement
Officer had responded to a letter from the Parish Council. He
had inspected the site, but had not found any evidence that
would lead to enforcement action. Further options were
discussed and it was flagged that some issues require local
residents support e.g. keeping logs of activity or reporting
noise to environmental health as and when it arises. It was
agreed to write back to Peter Hinckesman to confirm the exact
uses permitted on the site and to check on any notices that can
be issued.
A resident in Murton Place has complained about the letter
received regarding wheelie bins. They felt this was too directed
and there were wider issues, in particular parking on
pavements in the area, which restricted pedestrian access. A
resident had also written to Councillor A. Bowles suggesting
bollards could be put in pace to prevent parking on the
pavement. The Council has no enforcement powers regarding
parking, so this would be an issue for the Joint Transportation
Board and would need support from a majority of local
residents. The Council discussed the matter regarding wheelie
bins and it was expressed this is part of a wider issue of being
considerate and keeping the village tidy. It was agreed that the
Clerk and Chairman would write back to the resident who had
made the complaint.
8
Swale Borough Council have been contacted regarding a
village ‘deep clean’ litter pick. Swale are reviewing locations
for litter picks.
The WI will apply to the Graveney with Goodnestone Trust for
funding for the defibrillator.
The Parish noticeboard needs to be updated as Parish Council
meeting schedules are old and new Councillor details need to
be added.
LED light in Goodnestone and repair to streetlight:
A resident is still concerned regarding the brightness of the
streetlight in Goodnestone shining into their property.
Background to the new light was provided including a technical
description of the LED lighting versus the old sodium lighting.
The LED lighting has a lower brightness intensity, however, the
spectrum of light is much bluer. The current light fitting it not
adaptable to allow for either shielding or colour filters to be
fitted. A new light fitting design was discussed that would
provide more flexibility. Additionally it was discussed whether
the Council could buy and stockpile more sodium lamp bulbs
to avoid having to install LED lamps, as sodium bulbs will be
phased out shortly. It was agreed that the Goodnestone light
could be best resolved in the short term by switching it with an
old sodium lamp fitting. The new light fitting design could be
trialled in locations away from properties.
Local Transport Plan:
Kent County Council is currently consulting on the Local
Transport Plan 4, which includes proposals regarding Brenley
Corner and also looks at rural communities and the public
9
transport service. Councillors will chose if they want to
respond individually.
Village sign update:
A meeting to progress the village sign had been held. The
working group had received an update quote for the sign of
£5,800 + VAT and carriage, it was noted that £7,969 has been
set aside for the sign. The working group had also been in
touch with the resident whose land the sign would be placed
on. The resident is happy to allow the sign, however, he rents
the land. It was agreed to check on the need for planning
permission.
Donations:
The Citizens Advice Bureau and Kent Air Ambulance are the
two designated recipients of donations from the Parish, both
receiving £55 annually. However, donations to Kent Air
Ambulance have not been made in recent years. It was agreed
to create a donations schedule for payments to be made every
April.
Correspondence:
Correspondence from the Kent Association of Local Councils,
including the adoption of roundabouts and grass verges by
businesses or councils and the AGM in November that
included proposals on HGVs and use of lorry parks.
A letter has also been received about replacing a swing at the
village hall with a disability accessible swing. This is a matter
for the Village Hall, however, the Council proposed to follow
the progress.
10
Finance:
The Financial Statement and Bank Reconciliation were
provided to Councillors. A number of small payments were
approved, including the 2016 charity donations.
Planning:
An application for Country View Park, Cleve Hill to demolish
existing structures and replace with a new caravan storage
barn. It was suggested consideration be given to the scale and
proximity of the barn to near-by houses as well as
consideration to the external materials used.
Graveney & Goodnestone Trust:
No applications received, the next meeting is in December.
Councillor Reports:
Overhanging vegetation on local bridges was flagged. Flooding
on Whitstable Road is to be reported and the nearby drain
appears to be blocked. Potholes were discussed, Broom Street
has been marked for repair. Any repairs or delays can be raised
on the Kent County Council website.
It was raised that the recent negative coverage of the
Freewheel Pub was a shame as it was not the fault of the
landlord.
Any Other Business:
No further business.
Next Parish Council Meeting:
The next meeting will be held on Monday 14th November 2016
at 7.30pm.

I will start this month’s report with a future date for your
diaries. All County Councillors get a (decreasing) pot of money
to support projects and organisations in their division. Rather
than being influenced by my personal interests such as the
Village Notice
On Wednesday 7th September, a short Memorial Service
was held at Sandbanks Farm Graveney for Flying Officer
Kenneth Wendel of 504 Squadron Royal Air Force, who on
this day in 1940 lost his life during the Battle of Britain. His
aircraft was shot down and crashed at the farm where he
died of his wounds. A plaque to his memory has been
erected by Mr Ian Crowhurst adjacent to the crash site. F/O
Wendell was born in New Zealand in 1916 and was
commissioned in the RAF in 1937. The Service was
conducted by Canon Struan Dunn (Chaplain) and attended
by Group Captain Trevor Dole , Squadron Leader Fred
Chapman MBE and members of the Royal Air Forces
Association from Faversham and Whitstable Branches.

Another major announcement is the report just published by
the Parliamentary Boundary Commission. Not surprisingly this
mirrors the proposals which were abandoned in 2013. The
purpose of the proposals is to reduce the total number of
Members of Parliament from 650 to 600 and to ensure that
each one represents, as near as possible, the same number of
electors. Currently a vote in some Urban Constituencies
mainly in the North of the Country is worth double a vote here
in Kent as it only takes half as many voters to elect an MP in
those Constituencies. Those Villages I represent which are
currently part of the Faversham and Mid Kent Constituency
will form part of a new Canterbury and Faversham
Constituency. Note that those Parishes which form the
Teynham and Lynsted Ward will remain in the Sittingbourne
and Sheppey Constituency. These recommendations will only
come into effect when we vote in the General Election due in
2020. Until then you will continue to be served by your current
13
member of parliament either Helen Whately or Gordon
Henderson respectively.
I started to plan this report early the other morning whilst
walking our two collies in Perry Wood, the autumn sunlight
shining through the leaf canopy was throwing dappled
shadows on the ground. We really are lucky to live in this
particular part of the Garden of England, spectacular walks and
views whether in woodland, across fields or along our
coastline. Also, so much going on largely organized by
volunteers. I mentioned the Faversham Hop Festival in my last
report. Since then we have attended the Woodfest held at
Belmont House, Throwley with skilled exhibitors showing off
all manner of woodland crafts. There were also ring displays
of falconry, terrier racing, ferret racing, etc. It was good to see
the heavy horses which help to manage Perry Wood on
contract to Swale Borough Council giving display of how they
work. We have also attended the Faversham Food Fair and
came home laden with produce from local artisan producers,
apple juice from Painters Forstal, beer from Whitstable, cakes
from Selling, Chilli Sauce from Goodnestone and Cheese from
Dargate. So much going on and so much skill in our Villages.
September is always a very busy month for meetings, this year
it has included meetings of the Sittingbourne Town Centre
Regeneration Project Board, the World War One
Commemoration Steering Group, Swale Borough Council’s
Cabinet and Informal Cabinet, the Kent County Council
Environment and Transport Committee and the Kent County
Council Regulation Committee, North Kent Leaders, Kent
District Leaders, Swale Health and Wellbeing Board and the
Kent Environmental Champions Group to name but a few. I
14
have also managed to fit in Parish Council Meetings at
Graveney, Boughton, Dunkirk, Lynsted and Teynham. I was
able to arrange Kent Highways inspections to look at
dangerous pavements in Dunkirk and the failure to reinstate
bollards etc at a traffic island in Lynsted both within 24 hours
of attending the respective Parish Councils. The latest meeting
of the Swale Joint Transport Board which I Chair approved
parking restrictions in both Boughton and Dunkirk and in Love
Lane as requested by residents. We also passed important
resolutions on the management of freight in Swale where we
advocated much greater use of rail, and on the Kent County
Council Local Transport Plan. I attended the most recent
meeting of Swale Borough Council’s Planning Committee to
support and speak (successfully) in support of local Selling
residents opposed to a controversial development. Also this
month I represented Graveney School at the latest Swale
Governors Consortia briefing/meeting.
All the above, on top of the first two meetings of the Kent
County Council Select Committee looking into Buses and Public
Subsidy, several days given over to Home to School Transport
Appeal Panels and meetings of Kent County Councils
Commissioning Advisory Board. In addition to this I attended
and indeed in many cases was instrumental in setting up
briefings on Broadband Delivery in Swale, Post 16 Education in
Swale, The Parliamentary Boundary Review and the latest
Government Policies and announcements on planning and
housing.
The last day of September was spent in Westminster at a
meeting of the South East England Councils Executive
15
Committee discussing Brexit, Sub National Transport Bodies,
Business Rates Reform and Health and Care Integration.
The first day of October (a Saturday) was spent at The Kent
Association of Local (Parish and Town) Councils Executive
Committee. Apart from Budgets and the forthcoming AGM
matters discussed included the three Advisory Committees
being set up on Transport, Planning and Devolution, the latter
of which I have been asked to serve on. Other matters
discussed were the Kent Police Rural Task Force, The Kent
Estates Partnership (which proved controversial) HGV parking
and the new duties on Parish Councils to publish even more
information online and to have dedicated computers etc solely
for Parish Council business. Swale was particularly well
represented by the Area Committee Chairman and Vice
Chairman, the Clerk to Doddington Parish Council representing
the local branch of the Society of Local Council Clerks and
myself as a Vice President.
Andrew Bowles
It’s back to the whirl of Westminster after the summer recess
and I’ve been getting stuck in. A new Prime Minister at the
helm of a new Cabinet, means there are fresh opportunities to
shape the Government’s agenda.
With that in mind, I called a House of Commons debate on fly-
parking – lorries parking in inappropriate places – to push
sorting this problem out to the top of the Roads Minister’s to-
do list. As people living in parts of Kent know, trucks fill every
A Message from Helen Whately MP
16
lay-by, line up on the hard shoulder of slip roads, crawl onto
the verges of country lanes and tuck themselves away in
housing estates. None of these places have facilities for
drivers, so as well as the problem of huge HGVs parked on the
roadside, there’s also littering and fouling of verges and
hedges with human waste. Residents nearby are
understandably upset, and it’s pretty bad for the drivers
themselves.
So we need more lorry parking spaces in Kent. The
Government has committed £250 million for a new lorry park
at Stanford West with space for 3,600 trucks, to provide a
desperately needed alternative to closing the M20 for
“Operation Stack” when there is disruption at the Channel.
This will be an enormous relief for residents and businesses
across Kent, especially those who live near the motorway. To
make the most this investment, there’s surely a strong case for
making the lorry park available for overnight parking of HGVs
outside of Operation Stack.
I made these points in the debate and afterwards the Roads
Minister, John Hayes, committed to looking into how many
more lorry parking spaces are needed and how they can be
made available. He also wants to do more about litter on
roadsides – a particular problem along parts of the M20. I’m
looking forward to taking him up on his offer to meet me and
other Kent MPs as well as councillors and hauliers to thrash
out some concrete solutions.
Helping people who’ve been handed a raw deal in life is one of
the reasons I wanted to be an MP, so I was delighted to host a
jobs fair with Maidstone Jobcentre recently. This event was
17
particularly about helping people who are struggling to get
into work but could find their lives transformed by a steady job
and an income. At the same time, it was a chance to support
several local businesses looking for staff.
Over 500 job-seekers, mostly from Shepway and Park Wood
but also the wider area around Maidstone, came to meet more
than 30 employers. There was a real buzz in the room as
candidates sought out opportunities to fit their skills.
Afterwards I heard that several candidates had been offered
jobs, which was a great result. I also spoke to one job-seeker
from Ulcombe about her challenge looking for a job, made
harder by not having a car. This highlighted the extra
difficulties for people living in rural villages, and afterwards I
spoke to the Jobcentre about transport support and how they
might be able to help her.
Of course the biggest issue facing the country at the moment
is Brexit, and how to build a successful future outside the EU.
I’m keen to get a sense of how you feel about the big changes
that are on the way, so I’ve been knocking on doors over the
summer asking people what they’re looking for in our new
relationship with the EU, and how Brexit will affect them
personally.
My priorities for Kent remain the same - improved transport,
fair school funding, better healthcare, supporting local
businesses and protecting the countryside. But I want to hear
from people in Graveney and Goodnestone, so that I can make
sure your views are represented in Westminster. If you’re
reading this please do get in touch and tell me what matters to
you. You can find my contact details overleaf.

It's a problem that never appears to go away -
the scourge of dog owners who don't clear up
after their pets, and sadly yet again at a recent
parish council meeting concern was expressed
about this.
USEFUL TIPS for DOG OWNERS
Get into the habit of keeping bags in your jacket
pocket or beside the dog lead, or keeping a poop
scoop in a visible place, ready to pick up as you walk
out of the door. Small bags for dog faeces are not
expensive.
Find out where the nearest dog or litter bins are on
your walking route. Sometimes you may have to wait
until you get home to put the faeces in an outdoor bin.
The parish council has invested in poo bins at several
areas within the village including by the church, village
hall, bridge, St Bartholomew’s church and adjacent to
footpath at Culmers Terrace.
Worming tablets are a cheap and easy method of
ensuring that your dog does not provide a home for
the common roundworm
Encourage other dog owners and walkers to act
responsibly too.
Village Notice
22
AT the parish council meeting the
possibility of purchasing another bin
was discussed and a proposal that this
is placed at the start of the national
cycle path in Nagden. The parish
council wish to hear from you if you
feel that there is anywhere else in the
village in need of a bin. Of course,
these need to be accessible so that, if
they agree, Swale Borough council
have access to empty them.
The parish council have also reported this to the local dog
warden, Tim Longley, so that patrols can be increased. Sticky
signs are avialable for anyone wishing to put up a notice about
this – please contact the clerk for more information
DID YOU KNOW?
In one survey, although the majority of dog owners stated that
they wormed their pet regularly, 9% admitted that their dog
had never been wormed. The most common and important
roundworm that affects dogs is Toxocara canis (T canis),
passing to humans as Toxocariasis. (Toxocara catis is the
variant found in cats). The T canis worm uses the bodies of
dogs to lay its eggs, which are then passed through the dog’s
faeces. The eggs become infectious 2-3 weeks after being
deposited by the dog and can survive for up to two years in the
local environment. T canis is more commonly found in puppies,
although it is estimated that 10-40% of adult dogs also harbour
the worm.
23
Young children are more likely than adults to develop
Toxocariasis, which can cause eye damage. This is because
children can accidentally ingest the eggs through contact with
contaminated soil or sand, while playing in parks and play
areas, or by playing with puppies and dogs that have licked fur
with T canis eggs stuck to it. Around 20 cases of infection in
humans are recorded every year in the UK. In the majority of
cases the infection causes only mild symptoms such as
stomach upsets and pain, headaches and sore throats,
although in some instances eye damage can affect young
children. The risk of infection can be greatly reduced by
ensuring that children wash their hands before eating and
after handling dogs or playing outside.
By picking up the dog’s mess immediately, you can help to
reduce the incidence of contamination by T canis and potential
Toxocariasis infection.

Rules for living:
If you open it, close it.
If you turn it on, turn it off.
If you unlock it, lock it up.
If you break it, admit it.
If you can't fix it, cal in someone who can.
If you borrow it, return it.
If you value it, take care of it.
If you make a mess, clean it up.
If you move it, put it back.
If it belongs to someone else and you want to use it, get
permission.
If you don't know how to operate it, leave it alone.
If it's none of your business, don't ask questions.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
If it will brighten someone's day, say it.
If it will tarnish someone's reputation, keep it to yourself.
