Enso Energy has recently contacted Chislet Parish Council about its proposal to build a solar manufacturing site on 250 acres of arable farming fields between Hoath and Chislet. 

They are currently arguing against the need for an Environmental Impact Assessment using the documentation linked below. 

This is likely to be discussed at forthcoming parish council meetings. Community input is encouraged.

UK Power Networks has contacted us to say that works are beginning to remove the old pylons passing through Chislet. The first stage, commencing soon, will involve removing the hedge and widening the opening to the entrance to the field on the left hand side of the road half way down Nethergong Hill, just above Nethergong Farm as you go down the hill to Chislet from Upstreet. The removal work will be ongoing for some time.

A message from Kent County Council: 

It will be necessary to close Hollow Street, Chislet from 28th January 2021 for up to 7 days.

The road will be closed between the junctions of Marley Lane and Sandpit Hill.

The alternative route is via Church Lane, Hollow Road, Mill Road and Marley Lane.

This is to enable carriageway repairs to be carried out by Kent County Council.

Enclosed is a copy of the Traffic Notice in confirmation of this.

This bulletin contains public information and can be freely forwarded to any other road users who may be affected.  Every care is taken to ensure the accuracy of the information, but no liability can be accepted for any changes or errors.

THIS IS A VERY DIFFICULT TIME FOR ALL OF US, AND, AS PASSING TRADE HAS DEMINISHED DUE TO THE COVID 19 VIRUS, WE AT YOUR LOCAL SHOP ARE STUGGLING TO KEEP AFLOAT.

ANY SUPPORT YOU CAN GIVE US DURING THIS TIME WILL BE  GREATLY APPRECIATED

Many parishes in the district missed their recycling collections on Saturday 9 January (adjusted from Thursday 7 January due to the new year changes) or Monday 11 January (adjusted from Friday 8 January).

This was caused by a shortage of staff at our waste contractor, Serco, due to illness and isolation relating to Covid, and we apologise for any inconvenience as a result.

In order to catch up, a double collection will take place for those affected on their next scheduled recycling day - either this Thursday or Friday (21 or 22 January).

To help these residents with their excess recycling, two special arrangements are being put in place as a one-off for this upcoming collection only.

1. People with an empty garden bin can use it for their glass, plastic and cans.

2. Cans and plastic can also be placed into black sacks, which must be tied up and placed next to the bin. Please do not put glass into black sacks for the safety of the crews. Glass should be in bins only.

Paper and card must be securely bundled up and be no bigger than 60cm by 60cm, approximately the length of your arm.

Important note - there will be two vehicles out collecting this rubbish. One vehicle will collect the bins/paper and card and a separate vehicle will collect the sacks. Please do not contact Serco after the first collection to say that either the sacks or bins have not been done.

We hope these arrangements will help residents at a time when collections have been difficult and there may still be post-Christmas rubbish hanging around.

Best wishes

Mike
