Reporting crimes and incidents – Kent Police now online!

The public can now report crimes and incidents as well as non-injury road traffic collisions ONLINE directly to us through their website (www.kent.police.uk). Once a report is made to them online, the user will receive a unique reference number and a return email confirming receipt.

 They are promoting both as a test/pilot at this stage. At the end of each form is the opportunity for the public making a report to give them feedback on using the forms.

 The overall aim is to provide another choice for how the public can report crime or incidents as well as try to reduce the number of people calling 101 on non-urgent issues that could easily be dealt with through digital contact (which increasingly a lot of people prefer and have asked them to provide).

 The Police contact page has been updated in line with this.

Footpaths

Myself and a long time resident of Wormshill recently met Michele Snoding, KCC’s Footpaths officer regarding footpaths around the village. It was a useful meeting and she is now in contact with those where footpaths run over their land with the intention of keeping stiles and gates in good repair.

She mentioned that there is a website where problems can be reported. It is as follows:

http://www.kent.gov.uk/waste-planning-and-land/public-rights-of-way/report-a-problem-on-a-right-of-way

Worth bearing in mind if you don’t otherwise know who to speak to. There are some great paths locally to get a bit of exercise and see the countryside.

50:50 Village Hall prize competition!

The Village Hall Committee has a number of ambitious objectives to undertake some urgent repairs to the Village Hall  as well as making the hall a more desirable location through making a number of improvements to the hall and its environs. This of course requires funding.

As part of this, Denise Gee is kindly running a 50:50 competition where individuals can assist with fundraising with a minimum £10 contribution and a chance to raise some meaningful cash prizes. Some villagers have kindly underwritten the competition guaranteeing that there will be no less than 100 shares so you could win a first prize of £75, 2nd of £37.50 and 3rd £12.50, but these will double if more contributors enter, so get those cheque books out and start writing!

Attached are the prize amounts proposed, the rules and most importantly the application form!

Village clean-up

Many thanks to all her helped litter pick on the 12th. We did all the village and quite a bit outside it. It is amazing how much and what sort of rubbish there was to be found – energy drinks in particular plus beer cans – some people literally do drink and drive but are then happy to litter the countryside rather than their car or van.

Below is a picture of everyone enjoying a post-pick bacon bap, oat cake and cup of tea on the village website.

If you are interested in helping out next time let me know – this time word of mouth rapidly meant we easily had enough without any more advertising, plus a good haul of youngsters involved, which helps convey a sense of civic responsibility for our village. Well done to everyone!

 

 

 

 

 

A word of thanks to Maidstone Borough Council – they had previously provided hi-vis jackets, gloves, bags and litter picking sticks so that we can do this as and when – normally before everything gets too abundant (in spring)  or starts to drop (in the autumn).
