June 2025 update on Beltinge, from Councillors Jeanette and Ian Stockley:
- through the winter gone, working with our Kent County Councillor (Dan Watkins), we were able to prioritise Blacksole Bridge for resurfacing work; the repair work was done in April and we're pleased to say that residents are very happy with the quality of the work done and that it was completed overnight without disruption
- we were delighted that the community was recently successful in getting Burton Down Park listed as a Village Green; many thanks to local residents for their support and to Conservative-run Kent County Council for approving the application; this will ensure the Park stays as a much-valued local green space for the long-term
- we're continuing to fight the corner of Beltinge Village residents in regards to the Hillborough development, in particular to prevent construction vehicles and new resident traffic from having direct access onto Osborne Gardens and Reculver Road; please do contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
