Dear Editor,

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

Agreeing with a couple of people I've spoken to on the subject, I don't know if making Hawkinge a town will improve things or not for you and I.

The one thing that is certain is that once again the residents of Hawkinge have been treated like mushrooms by our council, and the fact that nearly everyone I've spoken to knew nothing of this until it had gone through, has to make you wonder who has actually benefitted from this.

One thing is for sure; somebody somewhere is rubbing their hands together planning the 'Town'.

I watch with baited breath as another Kent village has every available square inch of its own identity trampled on.

Yours

Chris H
