Upchurch Players - Let The Pantomime Continue!
The great news is that the Pantomime is going ahead this year!
Auditions
Our auditions this year are going to take a slightly different format. They are on Sunday the 29th of April at 10:00am. All members (and their family members if they are there) are invited to have a buffet lunch which we would ask each member to contribute towards. (Rozz is already down for bringing crisps and James has stepped up to do prawn vol-au-vents...who knew??? lol). Please let us know what you would like to bring yourself. This will give us chance to get to know members and have a sociable chat.
Volunteers will then be required to help assess costumes and scenery. If you cannot make the date it is vitally important that you let us know, via: upchurchplayers@gmail.com We can then arrange for an audition date prior to the 29th of April to see you. After this date all acting roles will have been allocated. Please invite anyone interested in helping out. Please note children acting in the pantomime should be in year 6 upwards at the start of rehearsals (September) unless they are with an adult that is also helping out with the Pantomime each week in some capacity.
Thank you for all of your support and please do continue to support our fundraising activities.

KCC Report for Upchurch Parish Council from County Councillor Mike Whiting - April 2018
Please find below a summary of my work on behalf of the residents of Upchurch Parish since my last report.
You can contact me on these or any other matters at: mike.whiting@kent.gov.uk or 01795 842631.
Councillor Mike Whiting
Emergency roadworks on the A2 and in Oak Lane caused considerable disruption last week. Clearly emergency works are just that, emergencies, however, I have asked that all planned works start at 9:30am after the rush hour and end by 3:30pm before the worst of the evening rush hour whenever possible. I am pleased that pothole repairs due to start tomorrow for two days on the A2 at Upchurch will be off-peak, as requested, to limit disruption and delays.
On the subject of potholes, and further to my report last month of increased funds, I am pleased to have secured further funding, taking the total available for this year's pothole blitz to in excess of £11m for this year's pothole blitz, double what was spent last year. Work will start immediately and is in addition to the emergency repairs that have been underway. Members of the public are urged to report potholes and other defect using the KCC website: www.kent.gov.uk/roads-and-travel/report-a-problem
Further to my note to your clerk and assurances I received from the Council Leader and Clr Gerry Lewin regarding suggestions that Swale Council would be asked to amend rules regarding Parish call-ins of planning applications, I can confirm the suggestions were false and no such proposal was planned or made when the full council met recently. The rules on call-in are unchanged.

More good news. I can confirm that the threat to the 326/7 evening service and Saturday services operated by Chalkwell that arose earlier in the year has been lifted. KCC's budget has been amended to require £0.45m in savings this year, reduced from the original savings target of £2.2m. Changes to services in Sevenoaks and Thanet are proposed to deliver the lower savings target.
