If you have not already let us know that you are intending to speak, please do so. This is at the Planning Inspector's request. We are holding two guidance sessions for speakers on the 18th and 19th September, offering assistance with subject matter and general 'speaking' hints. The Planning Inspector wishes to avoid too much duplication, and has said he will stop any speaker if he has already heard the information from someone else, so you could lose your chance to make a crucial point if the start of your speech is too similar to others. Please do consider attending one of these guidance sessions.

IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT SPEAKING BUT NOT SURE WHAT TO SAY....

We would like as many people as possible to speak as this will demonstrate the strength of feeling about KIG. If you are prepared to do so, but need assistance with the subject matter, we would really like to hear from you now! Email secretary@stopkig.org.  Guidance sessions are being held to assist you. Details as above .

POSTERS POSTERS POSTERS!!!

It is VERY important that lots of posters are on display in windows. We can put them up along the roads but ONLY YOU can put them in your window, on your fence, wall, tree or gate! They have much more impact when displayed prominently in individual properties.  The Planning Inspector will shortly be making an 'unofficial' visit to the site and surrounding area, so we need a good show of strength. You can print one off from the website, or collect an A3 or A4 copy free from Taylors at Bearsted Green. Bearsted News on the A20 and Christopher's in Hollingbourne. Take some for your neighbours too. If you are unable to collect one personally, please email us and we will try to get one to you. FREE laminated posters available for outside use.

ATTEND THE PUBLIC INQUIRY

We want to show the Planning Inspector just how many people do not want this development, and need as many as possible to attend the Public Inquiry. It commences on Tuesday 13th October and runs for approximately 8 weeks from Tuesday to Friday each week, except in the October Half term, when the Inquiry will only sit on the 29th and 30th October. It will be held at the Ramada Hotel on the 13th & 14th October only, and then move to Kent House, in Romney Place, opposite the Chequers Centre multi-storey car park entrance We need people to volunteer to attend for as many morning, afternoon or whole day sessions as possible.

APATHY PLAYS DIRECTLY INTO THE DEVELOPERS’ HANDS!!!
