CHAIR’S REPORT SUMMER 2013<br />
What an eventful spring we have had in <strong>the</strong> <strong>Village</strong>, working<br />
toge<strong>the</strong>r with our residents and o<strong>the</strong>r organisations to fend off<br />
contentious planning applications. is was democracy at its best,<br />
all with <strong>the</strong> common goal of protecting our <strong>Village</strong> from bad<br />
planning but also ensuring that we are open to positive applications.<br />
We must be aware that appeals to some decisions will happen, but<br />
must hope that common sense will prevail in <strong>the</strong> end by <strong>the</strong><br />
Inspectorate.<br />
On a totally different subject, and I hope a FUN<br />
ONE, as part of Pride in <strong>Pembury</strong> let’s all<br />
encourage our youngsters in <strong>the</strong> summer holidays<br />
to enter and make a SCARECROW. To participate, all you need is imagination,<br />
two broom handles, straw and some old clo<strong>the</strong>s and <strong>the</strong> youngsters can be as<br />
imaginative or as outrageous as possible. e age ranges are from tots to 16, so<br />
a good age range.<br />
Judging will take place on <strong>the</strong> last weekend in August and scarecrows are to be<br />
displayed on <strong>the</strong> lawn outside St. Peter’s Church, so please encourage <strong>the</strong><br />
youngsters where you can.<br />
Pride in <strong>Pembury</strong> Gardeners, please enter <strong>the</strong> annual competition. e entry form is in <strong>the</strong><br />
magazine. I personally am always humbled to view <strong>the</strong> stunning displays throughout our <strong>Village</strong>.<br />
We have such talented gardeners here in <strong>Pembury</strong> so if you feel your neighbour does a good job<br />
(won’t be as good as yours!) please nominate <strong>the</strong>m via <strong>the</strong> Parish Office, and it will encourage<br />
more gardeners to get involved. e overall effect for <strong>the</strong> <strong>Village</strong> is just stunning, no designated<br />
colour this year, so GARDENERS go bold and beautiful!<br />
I am really pleased to write that we have a full complement of Councillors on <strong>the</strong> Parish Council<br />
now which is so heartening and will bring new strengths to <strong>the</strong><br />
Council for <strong>the</strong> year to come.<br />
ank you for all your support and advice over <strong>the</strong> last few<br />
months, it is so appreciated. I really hope you all have a lovely<br />
summer and this year <strong>the</strong> sun really does shine and is warm!<br />
Cllr Mrs June Crowhurst<br />
