 Message from Kent Police and Eythorne Parish Council 

For many years people from both the local community and elsewhere have used the old Tilmanstone Pit site, recently Hanson Brickworks, for off road motorcycle activity. This is an illegal activity and no one has permission to go onto that land. It is also dangerous with many hidden risks. A number of years ago a motorcyclist had to be airlifted to hospital. 

Kent Police will continue to seize motorbikes and prosecute offenders using this site and local bridal ways or paths illegally. 

Eythorne Parish Council is working with Kent Police and Dover District Council to look at how this problem can be reduced. This includes working with Housing Officers to identify those families that are allowing people to cause a nuisance in the locality and reminding them of tenancy agreements; working with Environmental Health Officers for Noise issues, and looking at planning issues. 

If you know those who are riding on the site or around the villages illegally call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 anonymously. You could save a life. To report ongoing activity call Kent Police on 01622 690690.

Website News

As it has not attracted any interest for some considerable time I have removed the Message Centre page. Please email me via the home page if you have any comments.

  Kent County Council has introduced a new feature for your website to aid accessibility for the public which is called Browsealoud.  You can see the logo to the left.

Browsealoud offers a practical website access service to people with reading difficulties and those who find it easier to listen to, rather than read, the content of websites. It assists in the navigation of websites for those with:

·    Lower literacy and reading skills

·    Dyslexia

·    Mild visual impairment

It also has other features such as a dictionary, the ability to convert text into an audio file and translation to a number of European languages.

If you wish to use it please click and follow onscreen instructions to download the programme to your computer. If you use it please email the webmaster and give feedback, which will be sent to KCC anonomously. 

 The Parish Council meets on the third Wednesday of each month, unless otherwise notified. All parishioners are welcome to attend. Please see News section for more info
