Cllr Sue Murray (BGPC) advocates "keeping our powder dry, and not doing anything". Is this "keeping powder dry" as in IQW, ensuring things drift by until it is too late? I do wonder where our Borough Councillors are heading with this..................??

KENT HIGHWAY SERVICES : Potholes, streetlights etc.
One thing I have noticed at Parish Council meetings is the sheer frustration felt by councillors that KHS at best take years to address quite serious failures to the Highway infrastructure. We as residents can do our bit, we individually walk every inch of this parish. If you see a streetlight out at night, or on in the daytime, or a pothole or broken drain, or an overgrown footpath, either contact your nearest Parish Councillor, or report online to KHS at http://www.kent.gov.uk/eFault/Application/ReportCategory.aspx , or by phone on 08458 247 247

SCOUTS AND CUBS
We have a new website in town, www.bgscouts.co.uk , a good chance for parents to find out what joining can do for their kids. I know its not too good a recommendation, but I had many happy years in both organisations, but that was when they still wore shorts.

THE DEATH OF THE DIY VILLAGE? I DON'T THINK SO !!!
"The days of DIY on publicly used facilities are dead and gone - BGPC must work without deviations from the current standards. Charles Willsher, Chairman, BGPC"
I don't know about you, but I love our DIY Village, I am proud of our reputation, and rejoice in our community's unique talents.
These comments are a slur on all the QUALIFIED TRADESMEN who have given their time freely over the years to the community: does a plumber or electrician automatically become unqualified if he doesn't charge? Of course he doesn't : A Parish Council needs to explore every avenue to ensure Best Value.
The people of Borough Green built the Recreation Ground, the Pavilion, the Village Hall, the Skatepark, the Drop-in and the Chistmas Lights. We must protect and foster that tradition in the face of attacks by the "Political Correctness" Brigade.Below
Its not always sunny in Borough Green, although it usually feels like it
