PE80 BADSELL ROAD JUNCTION

The deputy clerk emailed Barry Stiff and the supporting KCC officers to see if a further meeting could be organised to discuss the plans for Badsell Road junction. There has been no response. KCC member Sarah Hamilton sent the below update:

As recently discussed, I would find it difficult to support that our officers attend a meeting until, and unless, they have anything to report back from their extensive work on all this. This involves their time and travel and any questions can be addressed when solutions are clearer and they are available (and this could come through a future JTB agenda too. A report was given at the last JTB meeting as I expect you know). I am expecting to be updated by the Officers myself and whilst I cannot speak for them directly, I would respectfully ask that their time and effective use of that, is considered. Hope this is helpful and hope it will suffice to reassure you that any update will be given ASAP.

PE81 CHAIRMANS UPDATE

(a) Cllr C Williams attended the latest Local Plan hearing on Thursday 14^th The inspector took on board comments made from Cllr C Williams and PWTC representative, Troy Hayes. The next stage is awaiting the main modification to be submitted with a further consultation to follow.

(b) A further Local Plan meeting with TWBC is to be scheduled. Waiting on TWBC to confirm availability. Very interested to discuss the concerns that were raised at the hearing, regarding schooling in Paddock Wood and how this also effects surrounding parishes and towns such as Cranbrook.
