NEW CRANBROOK PRACTICE Thank you to all our wonderful clients who have continued to support us through the past 18months… What a torrid time it’s been. However... We are pleased to announce two exciting additions to our services. Firstly we have opened a small satellite practice in Cranbrook with a view to better serving clients in that area. All first opinion cases can be seen there along with any flea or worm or prescription collections. We are open 9am-3pm Monday to Friday but if your animal needs further work ups or treatments you will be seen at Tenterden. Please do come and say Hi and introduce yourselves and extended family members... there is always a treat to hand.

DEVELOPMENT NEWS Doctors Support Community Centre Cllr Colin Gilbert reveals the latest encouraging news on the development of the community centre and GP services in Cranbrook It has been some time since I updated you on progress with our community and medical centre and I am pleased to report the latest in this edition of The Cake. Just to recap, the building at the moment will contain the new library, multi-use rooms, seating for 20, 40 and 60 people (a total of 120), a large teaching kitchen, WCs, some quiet office spaces, storage, a plant room and bin space. The site is situated on a sloping piece of land, so the design must use the topography and we hope to utilise this to the best advantage. We are still open to ideas on usage and would welcome suggestions from you all so that we can give as full a brief to the professional team as we can. As you are aware, there has been a delay to the project due to Covid distractions, lockdowns and the want of information on the G surgery specification. This situation has changed with our doctors being able to visit the recentlycompleted Southborough Medical Centre to look at the specification and details used there. I understand they were suitably impressed and I am pleased to say we now have full co-operation from the local doctors and the Clinical Commissioning Group to push forward with the project as soon as possible. We understand that the drive to move detailed diagnosis away from major London hospitals means local specialisms can be catered for, which requires more clinical space. Pembury Hospital will be teaching GPs, so local practices will be able to train the students in the space afforded by the new medical centre. Our doctors are currently working on suitable specifications for their requirements. As soon as they can deliver the space needs and number of consulting and treatment rooms, our project manager will re-run the numbers and begin to put together a brief for the designer, architect and constructor. This should start by the end of December 2021. “No Homes on Jaeger’s Field” says TWBC Plans to build 63 homes on land bequeathed by a wartime airman to Cranbrook School have been thwarted by Tunbridge Wells Borough Council. The field on Angley Road, at the rear of the school, was left by ernard “ill aeger, an RA sergeant navigator, who flew with o Squadron. e lost his life on the night of uly when the osquito in which he was flying was lost in the English Channel. His body was never recovered. An outline application was made to TWBC but the parish council objected as it is in an Area of utstanding atural eauty, flooding is a risk and there is concern about access onto the busy A229 Angley Road. It is the second time a plan to build houses on the site has been rejected. More than 20 years ago, concerned Cranbrook people objected to a similar housing scheme. They wanted to retain the field, used for sport including rugby, and kept untouched in the lost airman’s memory. TF The Cake • Winter 2021 11
