Join the<br />
Hospice<br />
Herd<br />
DEER AND wild boar may well<br />
be a problem throughout the<br />
Weald but a herd of horses<br />
has been greeted with delight.<br />
Twenty-four life-sized<br />
sculptures are on show in places<br />
throughout West Kent and East<br />
Sussex in a bid to raise money<br />
for Hospice in the Weald.<br />
Designed and painted by<br />
local artists and sponsored<br />
by businesses, the stunning<br />
horses have already created<br />
a stampede of interest in the<br />
parks and other places where<br />
they are grazing or generally<br />
ambling about.<br />
To find them you can<br />
download a special map from<br />
herdofthehospice.co.uk. There<br />
is also special Herd of the<br />
Hospice merchandise for sale<br />
in Royal Victoria Place (RVP)<br />
where visitors can add their<br />
hand print to an unpainted<br />
sculpture.<br />
The herd will stay on show<br />
until the beginning of October<br />
when they will be rounded<br />
up and taken to RVP to be<br />
auctioned off.<br />
To donate £3 text HERD to<br />
70660; 90p in every £1 goes<br />
straight to patient care.<br />
YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD<br />
PLAN MAKES EXCELLENT<br />
PROGRESS<br />
THROUGH THE Neighbourhood Plan process we have been<br />
given an amazing opportunity to help shape how our local<br />
community can develop over the next 20 years or so.<br />
During this year, several public engagement events took<br />
place where residents in Cranbrook and Sissinghurst, and<br />
other participants,<br />
had the opportunity<br />
to express what they<br />
most value about our<br />
parish and what causes<br />
them most concern.<br />
Tasks Groups are now being formed to work on the<br />
many actions points identified.<br />
We would like as many of you as possible to participate<br />
in the creation of the Neighbourhood Plan. If you have<br />
a particular interest or skill in any of the areas that have<br />
been identified, please get in touch. You could also help by<br />
gathering the views of your friends and neighbours.<br />
The areas that have been identified include looking at<br />
Community & Culture, Heritage, Landscape, Education<br />
& Employment, Land Use & Social Infrastructure,<br />
Development Opportunity Sites, and Access & Movement.<br />
To have your say, as well as the views you may<br />
have acquired from those you have spoken to so<br />
far, please complete our short questionnaire by<br />
September 22, which is available both online at www.<br />
cranbrookandsissinghurstndp.co.uk and from the <strong>Parish</strong><br />
Office, where the results of the work so far are also on<br />
display. Cllr. Nancy Warne<br />
