Enjoy the view without the loud music
And so it begins! Cometh the nice weather, cometh the noise! Why do people need to have their car radio/ stereos on so loud while sitting looking at the lovely view that I’m blessed to look at every day?
There is a sign in the car park next to my garden which says that car radios should not be played but nobody seems to take any notice of it. There are times when I and my neighbours need to have our TV sets turned up really high in order to drown out the noise. It is so anti-social and against the spirit of neighbourliness which has been in evidence during the pandemic. I don’t want to play ‘cat in the manger’ as I know I’m very fortunate to have the view I have. But it is so annoying to have the lovely peace and quiet of the countryside ruined by irresponsible people who just don’t seem to care.

to the UK economy every year and yet only 66% of rural areas have good coverage.
In order to really ensure that the UK has full connectivity by 2025, there needs to be a continual improvement and widening of mobile coverage. Therefore, hard interim targets must be set within the government’s and mobile operators’ Shared Rural Network agreement. The UK countryside has been left behind, time and time again. This has to end now.

President of the Country Land and Business Association (CLA) racism, which I am saddened to mention has not gone away, contrary to some comments I hear.
One point I must make about statues is really quite simple; the execrable ones depicting slave traders or slave owners must be removed and then by definition we shall have empty spaces. I suggest we commission edifices of men and women amongst ethnic minorities, religious minorities, LGBT+ community and the disabled who have excelled admirably for the good of our nation.
My first candidate has to be Walter Tull, born in Folkestone 1888, he was only the third nonwhite footballer to grace the top division. He then volunteered promptly for service in the
First World War and, despite regulations barring black officers, he became the first when commissioned 2nd lieutenant on May 30, 1917.
Tragically he was killed in early 1918. We must ensure this man is celebrated in Kent with a suitable memorial.
