Save Capstone Valley......AGAIN!!

Yes, they are after Capstone Valley AGAIN.

Thanks to planning laws and rules imposed by the Labour Government, Medway Council is obliged by law to put development proposals to concrete over Capstone Valley out to 'public consultation' If they refuse to do so the developers have the right to apply for planning permission and even commence building work.

If you support our campaign to save Capstone Valley please sign and return the postcard that is on its way to all in Princes Park. It is a freepost address but if you place a stamp on the card it will save us the cost of the postage. There is room for two signatures on the card. If you would like additional cards to collect more signatures , please email your name and address to tracey@traceycrouch.co.uk and we will send you a further supply.

If you wish to help deliver the cards to your street please get in touch. We need help to save Capstone Valley. Please ring me on 01634 670853, or email Tracey.

New Footpath

New Footpath From Lordswood Lane To Emily Road

.

.

During the last election campaign we had several residents from the Lordswood Lane area ask if we could have the bridleway from Lordswood Lane to Emily Road re-surfaced due to the poor state of the pathway.

.

We said we would take the issue on as a priority to improve the walking conditions for the many pedestrians who use that path. This area had been ear-marked to be updated for over 20 years but we are pleased to say the project has now been completed.

.

It all started 2 years ago when we tried to get some anti-motorbike barriers installed to stop the menace, however we were informed due to the path being designated a 'bridleway' barriers could not be installed because of horse access.

.

Due to a horse not using this bridleway for 30 years we got the Council to apply through the courts to have the definition changed from 'bridleway' to footpath'. This took longer then we thought, hence why it has taken 2 years to get the project completed.

After the courts changed the status to a 'footpath' the finance was secured to have the entire length re-surfaced with 4 sets of barriers installed at either end, with 2 in the middle.

The path construction took over 3 weeks to complete and after taking a final look last week we were very pleased with the outcome.

.

Another example of how Cllrs Matt Bright and Pat Gulvin are working to try and improve Princes Park.
