Which Will Tell You Whats Been Going On... 

Swale Borough Council - Thanks

Swale Council came to the rescue quickly. They were informed people were getting near the cliff edge to "have a look". Children & adults alike were doing this and it was becoming a rapid safety issue which could not be ignored anymore.Swale Council promptly paid for the fence and a contractor to do the installation today - in time for the caravan sites opening this weekend.

EROSION VIDEO & LIFE AT EASTCHURCH CLIFFS

Vehicle Tyres - Put To Good Use.

Once the tyre's are placed on the upper beach they are covered with beach stones which prevents movement and locks them up ensuring beach nourishment and the shape of the tyre helps prevent longshore drift thus ensuring the upper beach is preserved....
Tyre's can also be stacked as shown in the first picture which removes the need to tie them together with wire...
Only an idea - tyre's are a real landfill problem - could this be an answer!...

Agenda and draft minutes Swale Rural Forum Tuesday, 10th February, 2015 7.00 pm

 I would like to inform residents that Richard Palmer (UKIP) raised concerns on our behalf regarding a council planning application which was detrimental to our situation. Here are the minutes of that meeting... Regards Peter Bruce.

Public Session

During public session, members of the public living in the Borough of Swale may make a statement, submit a petition, or ask the Chairman any question on any matter on which the Council has powers or duties, in respect of rural matters.

Questions or statements shall be read at the meeting and shall not last more than three minutes.  An answer from the Chairman may take the form of a direct oral answer or be in writing.  Questions submitted to the Democratic Services section in writing (including email) at least three days before the meeting will be taken first.

Minutes:

The Chairman welcomed the nine members of the public in attendance.

Mr Palmer, (UKIP), Newington, raised concern with cliff erosion at Eastchurch.  He explained that some residents were notified at the ‘eleventh hour’ that they could have submitted their comments into the Local Plan consultation, which resulted in their comments not being included.

Councillor Lesley Ingham advised that there was a meeting about cliff erosion on 17 February 2015 with the Chief Executive of Swale Borough Council (SBC), the Leader of the Council and also Borough Councillors. Councillor Gerry Lewin explained that the Local Plan had been consulted upon previously; this had been a final consultation for the inspector. Mr Palmer’s concerns could be taken to the meeting on 17 February. 

Swale Council Meeting 17th Feb

I understand there is a closed council meeting on the 17th where the Eastchurch Gap residents problems will be discussed - This is a positive result and when we are informed of any progress we will let you know - so keep looking at this blog.
