Kent County Council's revised Statement of Community Involvement was formally adopted on 14 January 2011. The Statement of Community Involvement forms part of the Minerals and Waste Development Framework and sets out how the community will be engaged in the preparation of the Minerals and Waste Development Framework, and also how the community will be consulted on planning applications that are determined by Kent County Council.
A number of streetlights round the East side of M20 J12 roundabout, including the slip road off the motorway from Dover and the lights around the corner onto Cheriton High St to the BP garage, are currently not working.
The streetlights not working (which is all of them!) on The Undercliffe, Sandgate, have been reported to Kent Highways by Folkestone West County Councillor Tim Prater. The lights went out on 4th February and reported soon after. Kent Highways sent an engineer to the road on Tuesday 8th February and diagnosed a cable fault.
