Shepway Liberal Democrats

The announcement by Shepway District Council that they are consulting on a long term high level nuclear waste storage facility on Romney Marsh has been slammed by local Liberal Democrats.

The Liberal Democrats condemnation is shared by local MP Damian Collins and Kent County Council Leader Paul Carter. In an article in Kent Online, Paul Carter describes the idea as 'irresponsible, outrageous and madness'.

Dear Darren,

I'm writing to you regarding your decision on the objection to the Kent County Council accounts from Mrs Kathy Harrigan that you issued on 5th March.

In that decision (which was reported to the Selection and Member Services Committee of 14 March https://democracy.kent.gov.uk/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=143&MId=4066&Ver=4), you state (page 5) that:

On 7th March 2012 Officers Sarah Wallace and Mark Ball attended an address in Radnor Park Crescent in relation to report of a Burglary in progress. Upon arriving on scene the suspect had made off from the area. Whilst conducting enquiries the offender was spotted, and stopped by the officers.

PCSO's Mark Ball and Sarah Wallace attended a report of criminal damage. From conducting appropriate level of enquiries the officers were able to identify a group of 4 young persons as well as the name of the main offender.

Since the previous Parish Council Meeting there have been 4 crimes recorded in the ward: theft of scrap metal from Ross Way, lead roofing from Sandgate High Street, criminal damage to an outbuilding at Folkestone School for Girls and theft of waste bins at The Riviera.

There have been 8 calls concerning anti-social behaviour: one incident of vehicle obstruction in Enbrook Valley, two calls concerning noise, one incident of nuisance youths at the Golden Valley shops, two calls concerning suspicious persons in Radnor Cliff and Ross Way, one call concerning a suspicious vehicle in Enbrook Valley and one call concerning a mini motorbike on The Riviera.
