The Mayor was warmly welcomed by the people who have been fundraising for The Pilgrims Hospice for longer than the building has existed. For 5 years they raised money for a dream which didn't even have a planned venue. Now, 30 years later they continue to raise funds to maintain the high level of care that the patients deserve. The Mayoress couldn't resist buying a Kentish Apple Cake and some home made marmalade.
Photo call at the Walter Tull Plaque on Christchurch Tower in the Garden of Remembrance, Sandgate Road, Folkestone. It brings a feeling of great pride in a soldier who has been overlooked for so long. Pleased to have contributed to a permanent reminder of the connection with Folkestone.
Shepway Councillor Tim Prater has warmly welcomed news (http://tinyurl.com/23v76fo) that the Folkestone Leas Lift will be operated by a group led by local historian Eamonn Rooney, and has wished the new company every success.
A new group for welcoming visitors to Kent is to be set up in the Folkestone, Hythe and Romney Marsh area and friendly, knowledgeable locals are being sought to join it.
Keith Bennett and Aster Hall welcomed the Mayor to B-4-8s in Town Walk, Folkestone and described the excellent work that they do. David Dickinson also welcomed the Mayor and shared some past experiences about the help that the charity has been able to give.
It is a great pleasure to open new initiatives in Folkestone. The new Oriac House Learning Centre in the Glenmore Centre, Shearway Business Park will encourage companies to train staff upwards in anticipation for promotion or new employment rather than as a reward for past work. This is especially good for younger people.
The Mayor was pleased to hear from so many people that they considered Folkestone to be one of the best venues they have experienced this year. The provision of enclosed trailer parking on the car park at the seafront. People appreciated and commended the Coastal Park for the children and families whilst waiting for their races.
Cheriton High Street, Cheriton has now been re-opened (afternoon Friday 28th May) after investigations into subsidence in the road. The carriageway subsidence was caused by a collapsed sewer pipe which has now been repaired, and the road closure signage is currently being collected.
For too long, tech giants have treated children as data to be mined, using addictive algorithms and harmful content to keep them scrolling. While some are calling for blanket bans, we know these are impractical and risk isolating vulnerable groups.
If the answer to “Is our nuclear deterrent working?” depends on what Donald Trump had for breakfast, then the answer is no, it’s not. And our deterrent is not truly independent.
The UK is facing a mental health emergency. Liberal Democrats have a proud record of pushing Britain’s mental health services forward. Now we are offering the bold solutions we need to fight the crisis unfolding in our communities.
Ed Davey is a husband, a father and a carer. He is the Leader of the Liberal Democrats.
It is Ed’s experience of caring that drives much of his politics, and motivates his tireless campaigning for a fair deal.
Meet our representatives and candidates.
