PARISH COUNCIL REPORT

Statement by Hawkinge Parish Council Chairman Cllr. David Callahan.

The Parish Council has over the last 12 months had many issues placed before it.

Major issues regarding planning and development include the continued development of Hawkinge as an area for housing. This has put pressure o­n the village infrastructure, with regard to medical provision, present and future public and private transport,  and amenities for all groups, particularly the youth.

Your parish council has worked hard in conjunction with the Hawkinge Partnership to resolve these problems.

These tasks are not easy and there are no overnight solutions, but already there are signs of early success, and with the hard work put in by the council in partnership with others, it should be possible  to make significant improvements to the infrastructure of the village.

The long awaited dog litter bins are soon to be installed in the village.

There has unfortunately been no progress in the search for land suitable for a village allotment site. If anyone  has some land or knows of a suitable site, the parish council would like to know.
