New Letter from Planning Inspectors throws TMBC into disarray, and may be the death of Borough Green Garden City
What's in a name? - For many years we have been naming our steets to remember people and places, and the irony is we then forget who and why we commemorated them. I have compiled a list of the streetnames and as much as I can of the reasons. Have a look, please email me any additions, edits and corrections. We have just tracked down the source of "Bellows Lane"
BREAKING NEWS - Following on from the announcement that the Planning Inspectors have cancelled the remaining sessions of the TMBC Public Inquiry comes the news that Sevenoaks DC Judicial Review into PINS rejection of their Plan has FAILED. We suspect our Inspectors have been awaiting the outcome of the JR before issuing a more detailed refusal to TMBC - Happy Christmas, everyone.
Those of you who suffer sewage flooding, Southern Water pledge to resolve it - by 2040! But the good news is they have agreement at Board level to spend £60K on our creaking Pumping Station
A big problems for BGGC developers. Inspectors cancel 2nd & 2rd Phase of the Public Inquiry - this may not yet be the end, but it most definitely the beginning of the end.

Apparently there was a meeting of High Level Council Leaders and the like, discussing Proposed Boundary changes. Leader of Sevenoaks said that it was likely that Ightham, Wrotham and Stansted would become part of Sevenoaks, and someone asked "Why not Borough Green?". The Leader of Sevenoaks Council said :
" Borough Green? - NEVER - Borough Green is trouble on steroids".
I feel so proud, should we adopt this as a Village Coat of Arms?
