Road Improvements

There are to be road improvements carried out on Scotby Avenue starting this week and will be completed within 5 working days.

The work will involve cold milling and the resurfacing of the carriageway.

This is good news for the local residents as the state of the road surface has become quite appalling in recent months.

ROCHESTER FARMERS MARKET

ROCHESTER FARMERS MARKET

I was lucky enough to get to the market this morning. It is only on every third Sunday of the month so I do not always manage to make it. I have been very lucky as this is two months running that I have been able to enjoy the market. It was really cold but there were lots of people about. The stalls selling hot sausages or beefburgers were doing a roaring trade. Also the hot spiced apple juice went down a treat.

Surgery

Last weeks surgery welcomed one resident from Vulcan Close. The issue has been passed onto the Princes Park warden and will be shortly resolved.

On a whole the monthly surgeries have been reasonably successful over the last few months and we may plan to keep them ongoing after the 6 month trial period.

Capstone Valley Referendum

Capstone Valley Referendum

.

I thought you would like to see a few photos of the count. It was held yesterday in Lordswood Leisure Centre.

The results were fantastic!

This should show Medway Magna that the people of Medway have made a enough. WE DO NOT WANT CAPSTONE VALLEY DESTROYED. The results will be published in the local paper this week. Like the idiot, I am, I forgot to get the exact number. I know it was over 3000 to approx. 20.

I would like to say a special thank you to all the shops and businesses that held the ballot boxes. They were quite large and they must have got in the way sometimes. However, no one complained and all the shopkeepers and business people were so supportive. Of course I have to add a special thank you to Barry at the local post office in Princes Park. It was the only ballot box in Princes Park and he was kept quite busy. He even had to repair the box when a child sat on it.

Over 400 ballot papers were in his box, this is marvellous. I had 50+ either posted to me or popped through my letterbox.
