Parish Council News

The Parish Council have agreed to give £500 of the money received from winning the Kent Village of the Year competition to the Wye & Brook India Trust to sponsor the education of deprived children in India.
The decision was made after a poll, held in the Post Office last year, showed this to be the most popular use for part of the money.
This particular trust was chosen as it could guarantee that the money would be used for what it is intended.
Further details will be given here as the project progresses.
