Gladman Proposal Statement from Upchurch Parish Council

Gladman Proposal – Forge Lane, Upchurch

We are sure you are aware that a consultation leaflet was distributed by Gladman developers regarding a proposal for Forge Lane, Upchurch.

The Parish Council were asked by Gladman to facilitate a meeting, however they would only meet with the Parish Council privately and would not agree to the public being present. The Parish Council did not agree to meet with them privately.

At this stage this is only a proposal and no application has been submitted to Swale Planning. As the Parish Council are not party to any information other than that provided by Gladman in their leaflet circular, it is felt that a public meeting would have little gain.

Should an application be submitted to Swale Planning then a public meeting will be organised immediately. Gladman will be invited to attend. Please be assured that the meeting will go ahead whether they accept the invitation or not. Due to time limits with regards to submitting comments to Swale Planning this meeting would possibly be held at fairly short notice but we would endeavour to publicise this through our own website, noticeboards and Upchurch Matters.

Thank you.

Borough Councillors Grant Fund 2016 / 2017

As one of your Borough Councillors I have a grant fund for the 2016/17 civic year of £2,400 which I can allocate to local organisations.

What can the grant be used for? The fund is to support local, small scale community projects such as those which bring cultural, sporting, recreational, health, environmental, heritage, community safety, crime reduction or educational benefits to the local community.

The fund cannot be used to support items which should be funded by mainstream public expenditure such as highways or footways. Grants should also not support political or directly religious activity.

I usually award no more than £200 to each project but sometimes Cllr Wright will agree to “top up” from his fund.

I have already agreed to requests from the Town Twinning Group and to the Village Fete and bearing in mind I also represent Hartlip and Newington you will understand that the earlier you apply the better chance of a grant.

If you wish to apply please contact me on: 01634 366113 / 07946 996789

or Email: cllrlewin@swale.gov.uk

Regards Cllr Gerry Lewin
