Temporary Closure of Public Footpaths ZR45, ZR46, ZR47 and ZR50, Newington and Lower Halstow

Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 Section 14(1), As Amended By The Road Traffic (Temporary Restrictions) Act 1991.

I am writing as a matter of courtesy to advise that Kent County Council has made an Order the effect of which is to temporarily close for a distance of 20 metres either side of the point at which the power line crosses the path;

• Public Footpath ZR45 at NGR TQ 8573 6617

• Public Footpath ZR46 at NGR TQ 8600 6619

• Public Footpath ZR47 at NGR TQ 8608 6619

On or after the 29th July 2019.

The paths will be closed for a maximum of six months, although it is expected that each individual path will be closed for a period of approximately two weeks.

The paths are closed because works to replace the overhead line conductor are planned on or near the path.

There will be no alternative route during the closure.

Upchurch Poppy Day Appeal - 2019

Remembrance Sunday [Poppy Day] will be on the 10th of November. 

The Royal British Legion, established in 1921, is a UK charity providing lifelong welfare support for the Armed Forces, Reservists, Veterans and their families. It organises the National Poppy Day Appeal as the main fundraiser for its welfare duties and it puts on the Festival of Remembrance.

In Upchurch a team of collectors will again be making the annual house-to-house collections from Saturday the 26th October to Saturday 9th November.

Volunteer house-to-house collectors are needed for Butchers Green, Eastwood Meadow, Forge Lane, Kent Terrace, Quilters Yard, The Street and Woods Edge - if you would be willing to give two hours of your time to collect in one or more of these roads during the appeal please contact me.

Also I would welcome help with organising which covers the periods leading up to, during and after the appeal. Ideally I would like someone to come forward and be willing “to learn the ropes” with a view to taking over in 2020. 

WE WILL REMEMBER THEM
