Update Meet Your New Parish Councillors Kevin Rampling With children grown up and working life coming to a close, it gave my wife, Christine, and me the opportunity to move further out into rural Kent. Happenchance, we booked a garden tour weekend and stayed at The George in Cranbrook. Both of us said immediately how lovely the town is and it was where we would like to live. A year or more later in 2016, we bought a house on the outskirts of Sissinghurst. Settling in, getting to know the area and meeting people kept us busy but as we come out of the pandemic crisis, it feels a really good time to have the opportunity to contribute to the ongoing development of the local community and meet some of the challenges ahead. I retired from a varied career as a hotel manager, local authority director and managing director of a consultancy working across the public and voluntary sectors. My experience includes the NHS, Department of Health, Public Health England and a range of local councils. I am acutely aware of the financial pressures on the public sector and the need for communities, businesses, charities and public sector bodies to work together to make a beneficial impact on the quality of life. I hope to use my experience to work at community grass roots level where it counts – to make a positive impact on local lives both in the town and village. There is much happening in these vibrant communities. It is a privilege to be able to build on the work and keep Cranbrook and Sissinghurst thriving into the future. I'm looking forward to meeting more of you and understanding further how I may be able to help as a parish councillor. Linda Dyke My name is Linda Dyke and I have recently joined the parish council as a new member. I am very much looking forward to serving the community and seeking improvements to the quality of life in our area. We have all been through a challenging past year so I believe community initiatives which seek to reach out and bring people together must be cherished and supported further. The most obvious example of this would be the work of the excellent Wellbeing in the Weald charity which has helped so many of us during the past 18 months and more. It has played a vital role in bringing our community together and tackling the isolation many have experienced during the pandemic. Similarly I would like to enable many of the sports clubs active in Cranbrook and Sissinghurst to maintain their facilities and membership so that we can all get outdoors more and keep active. Finally, if you own an electric car or are thinking of doing so then please do get in touch. I am not only determined to improve the present maintenance of our current facilities but also to start planning on improving and adding to them for the future, which, as we all know, is electric! Here’s to a better year ahead and I hope to meet many of you at the great variety of community events planned during the coming weeks, whatever the weather! The Cake • Autumn 2021 49
