🔶 East Malling, West Malling & Offham Matters

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

@KentHighways This isn’t for Remembrance Day - it’s for the Christmas Lights Switch-on.

It’s time for change in #Maidstone & #Malling 🟠 A lot of support in our constituency to bring the local representation it deserves ✅ 4th of July, vote @LibDems 🗳️

Are you parking your vehicle safely? Our firefighters need a 4-metre gap in the road to operate a fire engine at an incident. Please, whenever you park up, check you’ve left a 4-metre gap, it could save a life. #Kent #Medway #Parking

There's still time to book your FREE place at our Funding Conference on 2 Nov, 10am at The Friars #AylesfordPriory #Kent Training & workshops will focus on #CorporateFundraising with guest speakers @KentCommunity @ChrisKnottIns & @imagocommunity Book at tinyurl.com/22hm5s7e

The Parish Council, Broadwater Action Group, local residents & others worked tirelessly to highlight the full impact of these proposals. From heritage to highways, loss of agricultural land to impact on landscape character, there was so much unacceptable harm.

The new organising Committee for East Malling Picnic in the Park have done a fantastic job. Lots of people having some fun in the sun, and enjoying some great live music 🎶

"Pavement parking is basically me ending up in the middle of the road." 💬 Vehicles parked on pavements can make everyday journeys challenging and even dangerous for many people. It's time for change. We're calling for a ban on #PavementParking across the UK 👇

@TMBC_Kent Although Larkfield and East Malling, West Malling & Offham Wards were the last 2 at the of a very long day these should be added. To exclude raises questions. As does the inaccurate pie chart. Why the 3 Labour seats smaller than the 2 Inds??? Please resolve 👍

@HannahPerkin Congrats Hannah from the Lib Dem team at Tonbridge & Malling 👏

I'm sunburned, I can't feel my feet and I am exhausted but it's been a fun campaign and I am delighted and humbled to be returned as a councillor for Abbey Ward

Well that went well! We are all delighted to be re- elected to @TMBC_Kent and thank residents for their overwhelming support. East Malling, West Malling and Offham are each very special and distinct communities and we are honoured to be able to represent you.

@TrevCWalker @LibDems You ran an excellent campaign Trevor. I am sorry it didn’t go as hoped today but I look forward to continuing to work with you.

Unfortunately it wasn’t meant to be! Thank you to the 778 residents of #Aylesford South & #Ditton who voted for me and the local @LibDems. Congratulations to Rob Cannon, Steve Hammond & Colin Williams on their election victory 👏🏼

@Ellif_DWulfe Thank you for your support. Much appreciated. Very pleased to be back and to be able to continue working with and supporting residents.

@marmitepotato Thanks Yvonne. The potholes are already logged with Kent Highways. One is a bit of a whopper - someone has stood a cone in it. I’ve reported the dog bins. Cleansing of public bins seems to have taken a nose dive generally again, unfortunately.

@mallingmatters there are huge potholes on Lunsford lane Opposite the green on Partridge Ave. Dog poo bins on Heron Road (overlooking Lunsford lane) and the green by the M20 are over flowing. Hope you can rectify this.

⚠ The active travel budget has just been cut by two-thirds ⚠ It’s heartbreaking to see vital active travel budgets being wiped away in England, at the exact time when they are most essential. It simply doesn’t make sense.👇

@Kev_rh You captured that very nicely!
