School/Public safety crossing London Road in the area of outside George & Dragon Place.
Reference: TEMPLE EWELL PARISH COUNCIL MEETING HELD IN THE VILLAGE HALL ON 10th APRIL 2007 it was good to hear that finally this is being slowly addressed.
I pointed this out last year on starting on the 17/07/2006 by e-mail asking for double yellow lines to make the crossing safer for School/Public. I again e-mailed on the 16/01/2007 with new points as follows:
1. Makes it difficult for vehicles emerging from the G & D rear car park.
2. A short stretch of lines adjacent to the G & D rear car park entrance/ exit could be the answer/compromise?"
I sent another e-mail on the 5/02/2007 stating: Thanks for seeing that my concerns were looked at within the Parish meeting, however I still have points I would like to emphasize in respect of removal of vehicles in this area as follows:
1. Crossing patrol as been advertised many times before to no avail.
2. Dangerous even for crossing patrol personnel to operate in this area.
3. Only addresses the issue at certain times of the day, does not cater for the following times.
1. Early morning / evening School kids catching / leaving buses in London road. 2. After School activities - including park recreation, especially during summer months. 3. Public crossing the road to the shops or bus stop, especially the elderly.
4. Any possibility of the Crossing patrol hazard lights being switched on with a timer until the issue is sorted?
5. It’s also noted vehicles are parking on the pavements in this area, may be a few dents and scrapes with push chair would do the trick?
I hear through the grapevine a London Rd resident was knocked over on London Rd in the vicinity of the shop!
Another recommendation I would like to put forward is the "pavement walk extended into the road" outside the G & D (Like the ones outside Iceland food shop). This would ensure it easier to cross safely!
Planning application in for 3rd property at Kinnoul, Green Lane/The Avenue. DOV/07/00974 Encroaching into protected woodlands. 9 trees to be felled to accommodate it. 5 bedroomed house, immediately behind Sunningdale. Increased traffic and parking.
Temple Ewell Parish Council are partly to blame for the sudden increase of planning applications along Green lane & The Avenue. They choose to endorse planning acceptance on the new 5 bedroomed house along the Avenue (encroaching into the protected tree area).
The TEPC are very short sighted & panders to back garden builders (who might I add, live in Canterbury). No thought for the impact on tree preservation/wildlife & most of all views everybody in the village likes to enjoy for the surrounding area.
TEPC use you brains, take off the blinkers and most of all try to think ahead!
Name & Shame time in & around Temple Ewell area. Alan Barker back garden builder from Canterbury. He has no respect for the environment, trees and especially tree preservation areas. He tries to alter plans to suit himself and feed his greed.
Keep your eye out for this builder & watch his actions. Get yourself plans from DDC if you are unfortunate to have him building near to you.
Kinnoul (plot 2) extra garage planning application - DDC planning committee site meeting 3/06/2008. Well attended by Parish Council, Roger Frayne (Ward Councillor ) Geoff Roberts (CPRE) & many local residents who all raised objections. Thanks & well done.

Question
Q717 I want to take some photos in public, is it now illegal?
Answer
It is not illegal to take photographs or video footage in public places unless it is for criminal or terrorist purposes.
There will be places where you have access as a member of the public, but will have to ask permission or may be prevented altogether. These could include stately homes, museums, churches shopping malls, railway stations and council/government buildings. You need to check the situation out on a case by case basis.............. see link:
Please help to save removal of two Beech trees - Land R/O Sunningdale & Adj High Trees House - The Avenue - Temple Ewell
Write to DDC planning Dept. email: conservation@dover.gov.uk or developmentcontrol@dover.gov.uk
EXAMPLE:
Dear Ms Russell,
We would like to object to the proposed application DOV/11/00046 - Removal of two Beech trees on the following grounds:
1. There is no mention of the trees being diseased in the main report to which Mr. Barker refers to. 2. If the trees are felled, there is no mention of replacing them. 3. There are still 5 trees to be replaced from the felling which was undertaken in April 2008, for which you have been contacted about, by us on several occasions. At the time these were felled, it was confirmed by CPRE and Natural England these 5 trees were not diseased. 4. The land is not a building plot as described in the application. The original planning grant was that this area was to serve as the rear garden for ‘Up and Down’, having previously been the rear garden to Kinnoul. 5. It should be noted that the builder has made several applications to build on the site, which to date have rightly been refused, of which the close proximity to the trees was a major factor in the refusal. 6. The development of the plot has already had an adverse effect on the trees, as the slope mentioned is due to clearance for this plot. Consequently additional pressure is now being put on the remaining trees, and any future development will exacerbate the situation for neighbouring properties.
In conclusion, this only serves to assist the builder in applying for another development, lining his pockets, at the expense of conservation of the trees.

Dear Public Rights of Way department,
Further to email Sent: 2012/06/04 10:10:09 To: Kent County Council Subject: Problem Report: "Kissing" gate via Fix my Street.
I have today have had further reports from locals using this gate, they have indicated this gate as now been chained up. This gate (along with many other gates) has never been properly fixed despite reporting this problem.
IMO chaining gates where cattle are present is dangerous, not to mention this is a public right of way.
These types of gates are high maintenance that require, at the very least dirt and derbies removed from the hinge area to enable them to close correctly.
The semi circular swing type gates would IMO be a better option.
I look forward to your response, I will then pass onto locals.
Regards, S Chattaway
