To all Residents:- First Ave, Third Ave, Surf Crescent, Dawn Rise, Sunset Close.

Most will know we need to raise support for our community so our MP and councillors will do something about the dilemma we all face here with the cliff erosion. I have been around to see some of you but I hope you will forgive the fact I have not been able to call on you all however enough should now know another person out there and word should have got around so speak to your neighbours - this event affects many of us. PHONE US TO FIND OUT WHATS GOING ON - SEE BELOW. (Keep this letter for contact info).

We need letters sent to or MP and Councillors from each address in our community to make an impact so if you would be kind enough to look at the below and send something in by post it would help... 

THIS IS ONLY AN IDEA FOR A SIMPLE LETTER TO YOUR MP / COUNCILLOR.

PLEASE SEE NOTE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE.

To :- Change as required) Gordon Henderson MP OR To Andrew Bowles Leader Of Swale Council.

Dear sir.

I am a resident in Surf Crescent (Change as Required) and I feel that our community is being grossly overlooked as far as sea defences and coastal erosion is concerned.

I notice that the rest of the islands residential areas have some kind of sea defence or protection in place and some of the areas concerned have been established a relatively shorter time than our cliff community which has been here for many years.

I would like to express my concern at the neglect we are suffering here.

Our communities main sewer and water pipes run in the road located by the cliff edge at the intersection of Third Avenue and Surf Crescent - the services will shortly be a victim of cliff erosion and go over the cliff thus making our community uninhabitable and also forcing two caravan parks to close in the not too distant future.

The lack of insight into this predictable event from the Council and the Environment Agency could make many of our homes uninhabitable in the near future.

I would ask you as our ( MP OR Councillor) (Change as required) to help make our situation understood to all concerned because Our situation is now grim and we need everyone's help to get the funds to resolve the situation.

I await your reply with interest...

Yours Truly.

PLEASE NOTE. The above is only a suggestion so please change it about or do with it as you see fit. this is only to give you an idea of what to do and not to lead you any way- your own words / views do matter.

If you need any further help please feel free to contact either Malcolm Newell Tel 880042 (Co-ordinator) Or me Peter Bruce Seascape Tel 881307 and we will be happy to help you in any way we can. (Keep our Tel numbers).

Useful Addresses for your letter. YOU SHOULD GET A REPLY BACK FROM WHOEVER YOU SEND IT TO.

Gordon Henderson MP. 1st Floor, Unit 10 Periwinkle Court Business Centre. Church Street.

Milton Regis. Sittingbourne. ME10 2JZ.

Andrew Bowles. Swale Council Leader. Swale House, East Street, Sittingbourne, Kent ME10 3HT.

I understand only a few letters have been sent so far - unless we are all involved and we can show how many residence are concerned and will be affected we could end up with just lip service and  nothing being done.
