Rusthall Parish Council has decided to embark on the production of a community led parish plan. Excellent news. According to a report in the local newspaper the council may use the services of Action with Communities in Rural Kent (ACRK). I declare an interest. ACRK is supporting Communities Food Community Interest Company and one of my fellow directors is employed by ARCK to work on community led parish plans.
It is reported in the press that Tunbridge Wells Borough Council has made a grant of £10,000 to the parish council. Again, excellent news, but is it a grant and therefore not repayable?
The newspaper carried a short story that the parish council gave its consent to a proposal to put a phone mast....'. Unless the law has changed the parish council cannot give consent to or refuse a planning proposal. It is invited to comment.
