Drought adviceThe current drought in the south east is a result of two consecutive dry winters with below average rainfall. Despite the wettest April since records began, and continued rainfall in May, we still have a hosepipe ban. We needed a lot more winter rainfall than we received to replenish groundwater and public water reserves.

Even when we have normal amounts of rain, the

high population density in England and Wales means there is less water available per person than in some Mediterranean countries which receive much less rain.

Rainfall is only likely to replenish groundwater levels in the short term if we have large amounts of steady rainfall in the next month or two.

So, the hosepipe ban looks like it’s here to stay and we may have to face further restrictions if the situation worsens.

It’s therefore very important that we use water wisely and make the water we use go further.

What is done to manage water use?‘As a council we feel strongly about protecting and conserving the environment.

‘We’ve been actively looking for ways to save water and we ask our contractors to consider this too – this means you might see fewer fl owers and more permanently-planted displays, but we’re saving water.

Mel’s top tips...

� Choose plants which suit the site’s soil type and aspect. They will be more drought tolerant.

� Dig in large quantities of organic matter to improve soil structure, soil water retention and water availability for plants.

� Mulching after planting can help limit water loss from soil. This will help the retention of moisture while plants establish.

� Choose plants with grey-green or silver leaves as they refl ect the sun’s rays, helping to conserve moisture within the plant tissues.

� Consider fi lling containers with perennial plants to reduce your water needs.

� Catch all the rain you can – water butts are designed for this purpose but you can use any container that you have available.

‘In the borough’s parks and gardens we have made appropriate choices of plants and we’ve mulched borders to conserve water.

‘The hanging baskets you see have water reservoirs in them,’ says Mel Henley, the Council’s Contracts Services Manager.

‘We are constantly reviewing our water usage and the implications of water restrictions as the drought continues.’

Mel is a national judge for the Britain in Bloom Awards so he’s given some tips on how to save water in the garden at home, see below.

Singing a school’s praises Brenchley & Matfield C of E Primary School is a rapidly improving school, having come out of special measures last year.

One area in which it excels is its award-winning choir and ensemble. The school has a 45-strong choir and a smaller ensemble of 24 gifted and talented children who work on more challenging music. Testament to their enjoyment and enthusiasm, the children give up part of their lunch hour to sing, and the smaller

ensemble also come in early to school once a week.

The choir and ensemble not only perform at school events, but also in the local community. This year the school’s ensemble won at the Tunbridge Wells Arts Festival for the sixth time (fourth time with a distinction) since they started competing eight years ago. They sing at local fetes, retirement homes and for the local Over 60s Club carol service, as well as occasional church services.

The larger choir also sings for school events and have entertained at Barsley’s department store in the run up to Christmas for the past four years.

Both choir and ensemble sing in parts and in many different styles. They have sung in 18 different languages, including Swahili, Bangla, Japanese and Hungarian. The benefits for the children go beyond just developing musical skills. Confidence building and developing the ability to focus and concentrate, as well as

simply feeling good are immeasurably important by-products.

With the strong support of the school’s music coordinator, Kathrin Hodgson, and under the direction of peripatetic music teacher, Effie Sparkhall, singers from Brenchley & Matfield School are always looking for new challenges and would be interested in finding out about any new and exciting opportunities. You can hear them sing at the school’s Family Day in Brenchley on 30 June.

Make your park betterThe Parks Team in Tunbridge Wells Borough Council has joined GreenSpace (independent consultancy) and developed a questionnaire to consult residents and visitors on the range of parks in Tunbridge Wells, their facilities, management, why people visit the parks, what improvements people would like to see, and what groups use the parks.The information provided by visitors completing the questionnaire will be fed into management plans, open space strategies and will help plan budgets and improvements over the next five years. We need views from all ages, all abilities, and all ethnic backgrounds.

It takes just five minutes to complete the online questionnaire (called Green STAT) and all the family can join in and give their views. Just log on to www.greenstat.org.uk and follow the easy instructions. If you want to comment on more than one park then a separate questionnaire must be completed. Alternatively, you can contact the Parks Team on 01892 554031 to request a paper copy questionnaire with pre-paid return envelope.

Easily LED?Horsmonden Parish Council financed a total transformation of their street lights in January. The project replaced 25 of their 44 street lights with brand new LED lights and renewing the rest with low-energy style lighting. This is something which the Parish Council has made provision for over a number of years, saving up monies from the parish precept in order to purchase the new lights and carry out the installation, at a cost of £14,500.

The new lights will dramatically reduce the power consumption of the street lights, not only saving the parish money on future electricity bills, but also helping the environment

by using less energy. The lights will also prove to be cheaper to run from a maintenance point of view, as the Parish Council envisages their maintenance contract for repairs with SSE reducing dramatically. The light given out by the new street lights also has a positive impact on the environment, providing much more directional lighting and less light pollution in the surrounding area.

The Parish Council has been very impressed by the quality of lighting provided by the new lights and by the works carried out by SSE Contracting, and give thanks to SSE for the efficient manner in which the works were carried out. Horsmonden Parish Council understands that it is one of the first rural villages to undergo such a transformation of its street lighting stock to LED-based lighting and hopes that other parishes will follow its example.

Parish Chair, Jane March said, ‘We are delighted with the new lights which are energy-efficient thereby reducing our carbon footprint. The new design reduces the amount of light pollution in the village and the feedback from residents has been positive.’

A royal visit On Thursday 31 May, the Earl and Countess of Wessex visited Royal Tunbridge Wells as part of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations. The royal couple were greeted by excited crowds during a public walk about through the Pantiles. Following their walk about, the Earl and Countess visited King Charles the Martyr Church and where entertained by songs from pupils at Kent College, Pembury and unveiled a plaque to commemorate their visit to the town. The couple completed their visit to the town by meeting some very special members of the community from across the borough.

You can fi nd out about historic fashion, compete in the design challenge, or join a guided walk. Why not also visit Cranbrook Museum, or join a book club?

Remember all activities will fi nish on

9 September and you have to send your passport to the Tunbridge Wells Museum & Art Gallery to enter the competition before 17 September 2012.

For more details on all of the activities please look in your passport or visit www.tunbridgewellscelebrates.co.uk and download a copy of the passport. Copies of the passport are still available at Tunbridge Wells Museum & Art Gallery, the Gateway, sports centres and your local library.

The borough of Tunbridge Wells should consider itself very proud with its contribution to a national initiative to light 2,012 beacons across the country as part of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Celebrations.

At approximately 10pm on Monday 4 June, expectant crowds gathered on Tunbridge Wells Common and no less than ten of the villages across the borough to see their local beacon being lit. For pictures of the event in Royal Tunbridge Wells please visit www.tunbridgewellscelebrates.co.uk

From Lucy Raj, Tunbridge Wells Fencing Club:‘We have been very pleasantly surprised by the amount of interest generated in our sport and club as a result of the Sport & Culture Passport. We had not anticipated such a surge in requests to try out fencing. So as not to disrupt ongoing classes for our children/teens and adults, we have already run three additional free taster sessions in Tunbridge Wells and have plans to run more later in the year to accommodate the demand. As a result of the taster sessions our club has gained new members aged from six to adult. The passport has proved to be a fantastic publicity boost for us; apart from our head coach, our club is run by volunteers and on a shoestring, so we don’t have much spare money to spend on advertising – the passport has been an excellent way to showcase our club and raise awareness of a sport we love.’

The Sport & Culture Passport has been running for six months, offering residents the opportunity to try something new and to find out about all the sports and cultural activities that are available around the borough. We have had some fantastic feedback about the passport and thought we would share some with you:

Tunbridge Wells Family at February half term‘We think it’s great! We built a mini beast home and went curling yesterday and today we’re here [at the Museum for Holiday Happenings]. We’ve also tried fencing and judo for the fi rst time – and done the architecture trail!’

A lively group of 11 year old boys

‘We’ve just done the Treasure Hunt – can we have our stamp please? And next we’re going to see the photographs in the Art Gallery! Can we have that stamp too?’

For details of what is still to come in the passport turn back a page and visit page12.

From Gillian Lynch, West Kent Shooting School:‘The passport scheme offers a “Have a Go at Clay Pigeon Shooting for Free” shooting fi ve targets. These few “taster” shots soon get people hooked and they are queuing up to have a go (for a small fee) on alternative targets – surprisingly, the girls seem to be doing better than the boys. One of the hardest things in shooting is getting started and this is especially true for the younger shot. The passport scheme has opened the door for many people who would never have considered clay pigeon shooting.”

Why wait until the New Year?The Communities & Health Team is running their successful healthy lifestyle programmes again this summer.

MEND MEND stands for Mind, Exercise, Nutrition, Do it…! It is a ten week FREE after-school healthy weight programme, run for children aged seven to 13 who are above their ideal weight. It works with the whole family to promote healthy eating and regular exercise helping to improve the lives of local people.

During the course, participants can discover how different foods affect the body, how to make sense of food labelling and healthy portion sizes. Most importantly it is run in a supportive, non-pressured environment with other families who are keen to lead healthier lifestyles.

MEND is a national initiative developed by Great Ormond Street Hospital and the Institute of Child Health.

WEIGHT FOR IT!Tunbridge Wells Borough Council also delivers a weight management programme for adults called ‘Weight For It!’

‘Weight For It!’ is a FREE 10 week programme for adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) equal to or greater than 28 who want to make a lifestyle change.

This group is led by a qualified nutritionist and a fitness professional. One hour meetings are held each week for 10 consecutive weeks. Each session covers a different topic and

includes a presentation to the group with handouts, leaflets, recipes and the chance to discuss any specific issues. Participants can also try some new exercises, which they take home to support their lifestyle change. Additional follow on groups are also available to help keep you on track after you have completed the 10 weeks.

Both the ‘MEND’ and ‘Weight For It!’ programmes are coordinated by Tunbridge Wells Borough Council, in partnership with NHS West Kent. For more information and to book on please call The Communities & Health Team on 01892 554411 or email [email protected]

Do you want superfastbroadband?

We have received a good level of support so far, but hope that every resident and business can back the Make Kent Quicker campaign. If you have not done so already, please register via the link below and encourage others to do the same.

www.makekentquicker.com

The Local Broadband Plan secures government funding to achieve this ambition. However, investment from infrastructure providers is also needed. In order to secure this investment, we need to be able to provide evidence of the demand for faster broadband in the borough. The greater the demand, the more willing the infrastructure providers will be to invest.

Tunbridge Wells Borough Council is continuing to support the delivery of superfast broadband for businesses and residents in the borough. Kent County Council’s Local Broadband Plan has a target that 90%of homes and businesses will receive superfast broadband (24 Mbps) while the remaining 10% will receive a minimum service of 2Mbps by 2015.

Who were the winners of the Love Where We Live Awards?We were delighted with the quality and breadth of the nominations received for this year’s awards. Love Where We Live was re-launched a year ago to appeal to as many people as possible from around the borough. The judges’ feedback told us that the shortlisting and fi nalist selection was a particularly hard job. Each entry was scrutinised very carefully, so it is a real testament to the amazing work of all the fi nalists mentioned below.

Horsmonden Farmers Market – Green Award

We were thrilled to win this award, especially among so many deserving projects. The success of our market just shows how interested people are in buying local food! This brings environmental benefi ts, but also supports the local rural community. For the farmers’ market team, however, the real enjoyment has come from creating a regular local event where people in the village can meet over a cup of tea and share news!

Street Pastors – Best Group Award

Street Pastors is an initiative of the churches of TW and we are delighted that this exciting venture has been so widely appreciated. We believe our presence is making a real difference to the streets of TW and we are committed to making this town a better place to live. We really do Love Where We Live.

Good Neighbour Project – Charity of the Year Award – and overall winner of the Love Where We Live Award

Above all receiving two awards has meant recognition for our loyal team of volunteers who for the past six years have been unsung heroes visiting and supporting literally hundreds of vulnerable elderly people in Tunbridge Wells.

It is wonderful to receive such affi rmation from our clients, many of whom nominated the Project. We consider it a privilege to help the older generation in our community and to be a neighbour to those who need our assistance.

Claire Reed – Innovation Award

I was honoured (and somewhat surprised) to receive an award for something I enjoy doing and feel passionate about. It is however lovely that the work and time individuals give voluntarily to their communities is recognised in this way.

Ken Mills – Individual Hero Award

I am sure that no-one who volunteers is looking for recognition or reward, but the ‘Love Where We Live’ Awards have highlighted the spirit within a community such as Horsmonden. It is a good place to live!

Christine Ashdown – Lifetime Achievement Award

I’m really not one to boast but I was delighted to win an award for something I love doing. My next big fundraising venture will hopefully be for the local school and I’ll be raising money to buy a defi brillator.

Here’s what the winners had to say about the experience…

What our sponsors had to say...Managing Director of Hoopers Ltd, and panel judge, Anne Horton, presented the Lifetime Achievement award at the ceremony. Describing the quality of the nominations received for each category Anne said: ‘It really is true to say that each nomination was worthy of an award, having to make selections for a shortlist was very diffi cult and we deliberated for a long time. So it was good to hear what it meant to all the winners at the ceremony, some were quite surprised but thrilled. I’m delighted that we were able to be involved this year and be part of a wonderful community programme ’

Gemma Millar-Hanna, Community Life Champion at Asda Tunbridge Wells presented The Best Group award. Gemma commented: ‘I am thrilled that I presented this award as it recognises groups who have made a real difference in the community. We recently launched our Community Life initiative, which aims to make the places around our stores better places to live and work, so to see people in the community already working towards the same goal is extremely encouraging.’

An award to the Individual Hero was presented by Stuart Marlow, Store General Manager, Morrisons, who said: ‘We know there are so many fantastic people doing great things in their local neighbourhood, I was pleased to present this award and to be a part of the evening celebrations hearing about them fi rst hand.’

Our new Mayor On Wednesday 23 May, Councillor John Smith took offi ce as Mayor of Tunbridge Wells, taking over from Councillor Mrs Elizabeth Thomas who served from May 2011.

John Smith is the Independent member for Frittenden and Sissinghurst, he became a councillor in 2002 and was re-elected for the fourth time in 2011. John lives in Sissinghurst with his wife Rebecca and three children.

Talking about the forthcoming year John said: ‘It’s a great honour to be elected Mayor for Tunbridge Wells in this year of celebrations. We had a fantastic start with the Royal visit by The Earl and Countess of Wessex to the Pantiles, closely followed by the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee weekend.

‘The Royal visit showed the Pantiles at their best and it was wonderful to see so many people there. Sadly the weather for the Jubilee weekend wasn’t kind but it didn’t dampen spirits as residents across the borough celebrated and paid tribute to Her Majesty.

John continued, saying: ‘Still to come is the Olympic torch arriving in the Royal Tunbridge Wells on 17 July. There are lots of exiting events taking place in the towns and villages across the Borough which Rebecca and I are looking forward to. It will be a busy and upbeat year in and around Tunbridge Wells.

John’s fi rst offi cial engagement was a charity golf day for Hospice in the Weald. It is customary for the Mayor to choose a charity or charities to support during their year of offi ce and John and Rebecca will support Hospice in the Weald; the leading specialist palliative care provider for the communities of West Kent.

He explained his choice saying: ‘I have been aware of the good work that the Hospice in the Weald do for quite a while and was very impressed with the whole set up and the enthusiasm of the staff when we had a look round a few months ago. I also know they have to raise millions each year to fund it all. They are a charity rooted in the community with so much relevance to so many people, I am only too pleased that I have the opportunity to help contribute to this very worthy cause and help them to carry on helping people both in the Hospice and at home via their Hospice in the Home initiative.’

Rachel Holweger, Fundraising Director of Hospice in the Weald said: ‘We were absolutely delighted and hugely grateful to be chosen as the Mayor’s charity. It’s been quite a few years since Hospice in the Weald was chosen as the Mayor’s charity. For a charity like ours which is so reliant on funds from the local community, this is hugely important to us.’

A new way to make decisions at TWBCThis new structure gives local ward members more say on how the Cabinet makes the key decisions for the borough.

Three new Cabinet Advisory Boards will meet in public and will give back-bench members a chance to infl uence and give advice on the best approach before Cabinet makes the fi nal decision. The Cabinet Advisory Boards will look at all decisions before Cabinet does and make recommendations or suggestions for improvement. The other side of the Council’s decision making process, including planning and licensing, remains unchanged.

2012 is another Vintage year on The PantilesLast year saw a new fun addition to The Pantiles’ calendar with its first Vintage Fair – and thousands in attendance, many dressed in vintage style. The event returns this year on Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 July.This year's Vintage Fair, part sponsored by Tunbridge Wells Borough Council, coincides with the opening of the London Olympics. Harking back to the original London Austerity Games of 1948, Sussex Mews will hold its own mini Olympics.

Against a backdrop of Union Jack bunting, The Pantiles will be filled with 30 or so stalls selling vintage goodies, plus Gypsy John's Cinque Ports Lindy Hoppers and The Swinging Little Big Band taking over the bandstand ... and we’re sure there will be more than a few surprises in store.

Visitors are invited to dress the part and get into the vintage mood. More details can be found at: www.pantilestraders.co.uk

Calendar Girls has been the fastest selling tour ever and has triumphed in the West End. Now, it’s coming to The Assembly Hall Theatre starring Lesley Joseph, Sue Holderness,

Ruth Madoc, Kathryn Rooney, Camilla Dallerup, Helen Fraser, Deena Payne and Kacey Ainsworth with Kevin Sacre as Lawrence the photographer.

A group of ordinary women do something extraordinary and spark a global phenomenon when they persuade one another to pose for a charity calendar with a difference! Based on an inspiring true story and the smash hit film, Calendar Girls is quirky, poignant and hilarious.

Calendar Girls has sold out before opening in every theatre it has visited. Don’t miss out and book today for the show The Mail on Sunday said is ‘marvellous theatre,

guaranteed to make you laugh, cry and come out singing Jerusalem!’

THE GLOBAL PHENOMENON COMES TO TUNBRIDGE WELLS!

Crescent Road, Royal Tunbridge Wells, TN1 2LU

MONDAY 22 - SATURDAY 27 OCTOBER

Farmers MarketAt the height of the strawberry season, Downingbury Farm is one of the most popular stalls at Tunbridge Wells Farmers Market. While the berries are delicious served with chilled cream we thought we would share some alternative ways to enjoy this quintessentially English summer fruit...

Sweet and Savoury Strawberry BruschettaSpread toasted baguette slices with goats cheese. Top with chopped strawberries and shredded basil or mint. Add freshly ground black pepper—it intensifi es the fl avour of strawberries.

Barbecued Strawberry SundaesScatter strawberries on a large piece of foil over hot charcoal. Sprinkle with lemon or orange zest. Drizzle with almond liqueur and seal tightly. Barbecue thick pineapple rings alongside, until grill marks form. Cool and serve with frozen yogurt.

Spinach and Strawberry Sauté Add a handful of roughly chopped walnuts to a lightly oiled pan and stir frequently until fragrant. Add about 10oz of fresh spinach leaves and continue to stir. As spinach begins to wilt, add a handful of quartered strawberries and season to taste. Continue to stir until spinach is wilted and strawberries warm. Serve with fi sh, chicken or pork.

Of course, you can never go wrong by dipping your strawberry in chocolate...

Tunbridge Wells Farmers Market, Civic Way, Royal Tunbridge Wells every 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month, 9am–2pm.

Strawberry SalsaDice 1lb strawberries, 2 kiwi, 1 cucumber and mix together with 1 fi nely chopped jalapeno, 2 tbsps chopped mint leaves and 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice. Serve with tortillas or grilled fi sh. Next Markets: 14 & 28 July, 11 & 25 August.

No Use Empty Homes InitiativeA new element to the No Use Empty Homes Initiative is for interest-free loans!Owners of larger sized empty properties which could be converted into two or three family sized homes, are now being called upon to participate in our new Affordable Homes Project. Loans are available in multiples of £25,000 up to a maximum of £175,000 to owners of empty properties in order to renovate them and bring them back into use under the main No Use Empty Initiative.

Property owners will be able to apply for an interest-free loan to help fund necessary repairs and refurbishments. The money can be loaned only on the condition their empty property comes back into use, and that they engage with a Registered Social Housing Provider

to manage the property on their behalf. This provides the owner with a guaranteed income in order to repay the interest-free loan, as well as supplying much needed family sized homes offered at affordable rents.

Loans are repaid in full to Kent County Council over a maximum of three years and recycled back into the scheme.

For more information about the help available to bring empty homes back into use please visit www.no-use-empty.org or contact the Tunbridge Wells Housing Offi cers on (01892) 554222.
