I live in a suburb of Royal Tunbridge Wells separated from the rest of the town by strips of greenery. Our councillors have asked for a Community Governance Review to establish whether our suburb should have a parish council.
Tunbridge Wells Borough Council is now going to consult with residents and interested parties and we are promised that information on the consultation will be delivered to you soon.
I cannot help but feel that those pressing for a parish council have a somewhat rose-tinted view of the powers of parish councils. My preference would be for an informal community forum which would not be constrained by legislation.
KENT COMMUNITY ACTIVIST: acerbic, carping, caustic, curmudgeonly,critical, cynical, grumpy, moaning, sardonic and plain speaking.
