Residents to March Against Establishment Again

Establishment Versus Electorate

A Press Release Issued by Sellindge & District Residents Association highlights the reasons for the Anti-Establishment vote via Brexit and the American Presidential election.   Who will vote for regimes that ride rough-shod over the views of their local electorate? It is claimed they are selling off our heritage to the highest bidder. There is no consideration for providing affordable housing for local young people.

Press Release issued by Sellindge & District Residents Association

A press release has been issued by Councillor Monk, Leader at Shepway District Council. It reads as if the Otterpool Town is a foregone conclusion or a done deal, but of course, it isn’t.
Councillor Monk says that he has met with various groups but didn’t actually mention the outcome. The local parish Councillors sent him off with a flea in his ear after taking a vote to have nothing to do with the Otterpool Town proposal.
It is obvious that Councillor Monk has been economical with the truth when expressing an interest to obtain Government funding for this ridiculous proposal whereby local support should be considered. Is this fraud?
The CPRE report on the building on brownfield sites carries weight and negates the need for using valuable agricultural land for housing. Shepway DC have chosen to ignore this well respected body and can only function, it appears, with Continue reading Residents to March Against Establishment Again

The Bonfire Boys Song

We are the Bonfire Boys

We are the Bonfire Boys

We know our Manners

We collect the Tanners

We are Respected wherever we go

When we march along Cinque Ports Street

Doors and windows open wide

We’re the Boys that make most noise

We’re the Boys that built the Guy

We are the Bonfire Boys.

(Sung to the tune of Sussex by the Sea)
