Know Your Councillor
Following my successful campaign in April/May 2020 to ‘Stop Land South of Clearheart Lane Development & Save the Woodland’ which resulted in a Tree Preservation Order being applied by TMBC & the site being preserved to date. I set up Friends of the Earth Kings Hill Group in order to protect & preserve our local environment & wildlife.
The group has accomplished a number of triumphs in a short space of time, namely, the petition to stop shooting at the Sports Park, a litter picking campaign & planting an Oak sapling tree at Lambeth Palace Gardens this Autumn in honour of Tony Hudgell’s amazing achievements.
I joined Kings Hill Parish Council in October 2020, with the aspirations to help the council more towards greener practices and recognise the importance of protecting and preserving our local environment and wildlife. Since joining the Council, they have appointed tree wardens in collaboration with Kent Tree & Pond Wardens Group, adopted a 20 point Climate Change Strategy which is currently being worked through, working closely with Coblands to implement greener practises across the council's spaces whilst looking to provide safe, educational wildlife havens and a community pond in the future, such initiatives aim to encourage and involve local schools and groups.
