Dear Editor,

Re: Hawkinge becomes the newest town in Kent following historic Parish Council meeting

I agree with all the comments to this article but find Dave C's comments cynical.

Kate R and Nancy's comments are not opposing.

As I see it Kate was asking whether we would not have the same benefits as Dover.

I am stating I don't mind the collection as it is. Obviously it could be improved as everything can.

The main concern is that the people of the village were not properly informed of this momentous decision. A small paragraph on an inside page of a local paper that not everyone gets or reads is not enough. in this day and age of modern technology why was it not reported on here.

As several letters questioned, why weren't flyers send around?

Enough people showed up to object to the supermarket so why think the people of Hawkinge are complacent.

Most have jobs and are busy with families. A flyer would have been a more logical approach.

I still think it is ridiculous to think Hawkinge is a town when it does not have the amenities of a town. You cannot compare it to Deal and Sandwich!

I too am all for progress and agree wholly with what Teflon says.

Yours

Nancy
