Luckily there is more than one way to skin a cat.....

As soon as I heard about the report instigated by the Hawkinge Partnership about the problems at the Hawkinge Community centre I banged off an email to them to get myself a copy. That was last Monday and still it has not arrived. Email is fast, very fast, so what is the problem? Surely they are not that busy. If I didn't know better I would have said they didn't want me to see it. Luckily there is more than one way to skin a cat and I managed to acquire a copy elsewhere. 

The schools go back this week and we can look forward to the usual traffic chaos outside the Churchill. The school's efforts to solve the problems continue, including the possibility of at last starting a walking bus. But is it really their problem to solve? Why not take a step back and look at the root cause. How many parents really do need to drive their children to school? 

Are people seriously interested in putting themselves up for the parish council, as the Chatterbox suggests? The Parish Council is presently as popular as a traffic warden in Canterbury Road, so maybe this is a good time for those interested, to get together and formulate a strategy for the village, ready for when they could take over. Who knows, all the old guard on the council could retain their seats in a Parish election, but if they don't then at least you would be ready.
