Swale Borough Council - Op Assist November
3 vehicles seized;
5 vehicles stopped and searched; and
2 Fixed Penalty Notices issued;

Martyn Cassell, head of commissioning, environment and leisure at the council, said:
“We are pleased to be part of this cross-organisation effort to crack down on fly-tipping across the borough.
We urge anybody disposing of household items to use a licenced waste carrier who will dispose of the goods properly, and not criminals who are unlicensed and likely to dump rubbish on the side of the road. Not only is this unsafe, but it makes the borough an eyesore for everybody who lives here.”
More and more of these action days are taking place across the County. A tremendous amount of preparation takes place ahead of these days, including the gathering of vital intelligence to support the Council’s Enforcement team with their duties.
What can you do to dispose of your waste responsibly?
Fly tippers often target households via social media or local advertising, luring customers in with cheap rates to dispose of unwanted furniture, building rubble or garden waste. However, these unlicensed waste carriers often simply dump the waste where ever they can get away with it, including in Kent’s country lanes. Householders or small businesses found to be using criminals to dispose of their waste can and are being issued with fixed penalty notices (FPN) that go up to £400 per offence. Failure to pay such an FPN may result in court action where fines can be significantly larger.
To prevent this, householders should check whether someone is licenced to carry waste by visiting the Environment Agency website below, or alternatively call 03708 506506. It also helps if householders receive a written receipt or transfer note, including contact details, description of waste removed and details of where the waste is being taken to.
The 13 Kent councils, along with Kent Police, are working in partnership to Keep Kent Clean. To keep updated with the councils’ efforts to tackle fly tipping and littering, follow #KeepKentClean

UPDATE: Monday 18th November - Notification of Major Gas Works: A2 - High Street, Newington
Following on from my previous communications, I am writing to provide you with an update regarding our gas works in the A2 High Street, Newington.
Our engineers have inserted the new plastic pipe for phase 2 of our replacement project. Following the completion of our reinstatement, we expect to safely reopen Mill Lane to motorists today, 18th November. Our temporary traffic lights will move along the A2 to the High Street, just west of Callaways Lane to ensure everyone’s safety whilst we carry out a diversion to our gas pipe. We expect these engineering works to last approximately three weeks.
Upon completion of this work, we’ll restore the road surface and safely remove all our equipment from the site. We continue to work closely with Kent County Council to plan future phases in the new year and we will share details with the local community once confirmed.
Please feel free to share this information with your own stakeholders and anyone you think may be impacted by our work.
We would like to thank residents, traders and road users for their continued patience and understanding while we carry out this essential work.
If you have any further questions, please let me know.
Kind regards

Upchurch Poppy Day Appeal - 2019
The Remembrance Sunday service led by Revd. Julian Staniforth and supported by Revd. Simeon Nevell was held in the church of St Mary the Virgin on November 10th. It was a moving occasion for the large congregation. At this time we remember all those who made the ultimate sacrifice in WWI and in subsequent conflicts for this Nation. Names of all those from Upchurch who made the ultimate sacrifice in WWI and WWII were readout. There then followed the laying of seven wreaths in the Lady Chapel, one of which was from the Mayor of our twin village Ferques in France (Upchurch Parish Council reciprocates by sending a wreath of poppies for laying at the service in Ferques on the 11th). After the service the Rector, Curate, church choir, uniformed Scout, Guide and Brownie organisations together with members of the congregation processed to the burial ground in the cool November sun. Remembrance crosses were laid at each of the War Graves Commission Graves by five past members of the Armed Services or Police and members of the youth organisations from the Parish.
The work of The Royal British Legion continues and it stands shoulder to shoulder with all who serve in our Armed Forces. It provides financial, social and emotional support to those who have served or are currently serving including their dependents.
The Poppy Appeal will benefit from donations for poppies and wreaths plus gift aid totalling £2,823 from the Upchurch Appeal in 2019.
My Royal British Legion thanks to the house-to-house collectors who raised £1,350 of the total. Thanks also to the businesses, retail outlets and others who provided static collection points raising £1,192.
WE WILL REMEMBER THEM
