Urgent Road Closure – Lurkins Rise, Goudhurst – 18th June 2020
It will be necessary to close Lurkins Rise from 18th June 2020 for up to 2 days.
There is no alternative route. Every effort will be made to maintain access for residents whenever it is safe to do so.
This is to enable carriageway patching to be carried out by Kent County Council.
Works to improve the surface of the Village Green are now complete. The large section, to the east of the Green, was stripped of grass in the autumn before being levelled, rolled and reseeded. To complete the works, a new set of goalposts have been installed. We hope that these works will encourage even more people to get out in the fresh air and enjoy our beautiful village. Our thanks go to our contractors, Capel Ground Care, for their tenacity and hard work which has made this project such a success.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FROM HIGHWAY ELECTRICAL ASSOCIATION:
‘It’s been brought to our attention that ‘anti-5G’ protesters have been sticking posters on various street furniture including telephone infrastructure, electricity cabinets and lamp posts. Some of these posters have blades or other ‘sharps’ placed behind them, in a deliberate attempt to injure anyone who attempts to remove them.
If any posters or stickers with ‘anti-5G’ messages are found stuck to any street furniture, infrastructure, lamp posts, etc., DO NOT attempt to remove them.
If such a poster is found report it to the Police.’ There was a suggestion that the Police may not wish to be informed of all posters unless they do appear to be ‘boobytrapped’.
Yours sincerely

Although you may have been gardening more in recent weeks, please do not leave extra garden waste on top of, or around your bin, as it will not be collected. Please store any extra garden waste and add it to future garden waste collections.
