The Parish Council is sorry to announce the resignation of Cllr Kirsty Barden on 24th October. Sadly Kirsty found recently that she was unable to dedicate the time and energy to the role that she wished to, with personal commitments and full time work keeping her busy.
Whilst she had only been on the Parish Council for a little over a year, she was nevertheless a valuable part of the team and will be missed. We wish her well going forward.
We therefore now have a second vacancy (Clive Cooke left in August). We will be advertising for two new Members in due course - all enquiries welcome, to the Clerk or any of the Members of the Council (see the Contact us tab).

Whitehall Homes are putting together plans for housing on two fields adjacent to Heathfield Gardens. (This site was allocated for residential development in our Salehurst & Robertsbridge Neigbourhood Development Plan). They have asked the Parish Council to publicise an event they are holding to show local residents their proposed development ahead of submitting a formal planning application:
Residents are invited to view and discuss the proposals at Robertsbridge Youth Centre with representatives from Whitehall Homes on Thursday 17th October 4.30-7.30pm and Friday 18th October 3-6pm.
Station Road will be closed tomorrow, Wednesday 2nd October, from 9.30am to 2.30pm, from the junction with the High Street to just past Bakery Place / the Club frontage, for excavation works. It will then be closed again from 7pm, overnight, for resurfacing. The rest of Station Road will be accessible from the Brightling Road end.
These are essential, emergency works, required to alleviate water ingress in some properties, following the recent resurfacing. Apologies for the inconvenience and short notice, but it is to take advantage of the break in heavy rain!
Unfortunately, this does mean that STATION ROAD CAR PARK will not be accessible from 9.30 am Wednesday 2nd October until 8am Thursday 3rd October. Cars can be left in there if they won't be needed, but otherwise will need to be removed.
The A21 Trunk Road (Scotney Castle to Baldslow) (50 miles per hour, 40 miles per hour, and 30 miles per hour speed limits) Order 2024'

Copies of this draft order that National Highways proposes to make, together with plans illustrating the proposal are available for inspection by the public at the Parish office during the objection period for 21 days from 27th September to 18 October 2024. This order has been drafted to reconfigure and consolidate the speed limit legislation on the A21 from Scotney Castle to Baldslow to address safety issues and requests from the public, and to improve enforcement by reducing the number of individual orders.
