| Comments: | Now a new Council has been elected,maybe they will look at making the pavement wider along part of Wrotham Road after all it only needs the hedge taking back,and I may be able to walk along without having to walk in the road to avoid a pram or get hit by a van mirror like my wife did. |

| Comments: | I have never said the mayor draws £80k, that is the COST of having a Mayor. Sue Murray in the past financial years, as I read the figures on the T&M website drew about £13,000, being made up of Borough Cllr Allowance, mileage allowance and Mayoral Allowance. Sue pays tax on this. A record of expenses is held at http://www.tmbc.gov.uk/cgi-bin/buildpage.pl?mysql=11 |

| Comments: | The old-fashioned type of mayor does not get a salary but will get an additional allowance from the council, probably no more than £2,000 - £3,000. - Do you really think Sue gets over £80,000 a year? |

| Comments: | Having read the Voice, March 2011 page 9, ref the letter from the Borough Councillors I read this "The Borough does not own a Mayoral car and on most trips the Mayor or their escort acts as chauffeur and normally provide their own vehicle." Oh, how misleading is that? on investigation i/e phone the mayoral office, asked the question : turns out that they hire a limo to run her worship about . So that is why it can be seen in Staleys , Tillton and roads around the doctors surgery awaiting pick up so come on Messrs EVAN, MURRAY & SAYERS, who are you trying to hoodwink? TRUTH, please, you will get found out in the long run. |

| Comments: | Having read the sevenoaks chronicle of thursday January 20 2011 page 3 top right corner . I was left feeling ill to see our so called hard working mayor is being paid £86,630 and just to make us feel good she has taken a £40,000 pay cut by reducing her costs to that above . This woman and post she holds is something we can do without period we can ill afford for her to continue free loading off the general public /rate payer. Give me the job I will do it for free just think driven to venues food drink not to mention the perks that go with the job It makes my blood boil to think she and her councillor cohorts are spongeing of of us rate payers SHE AND HER KIND DISGUST ME - PARASITES !! |

| Comments: | Let me first state that the pavements and roads are solely KCC's responsibility. We realised that KCC were unable to comply, but had concerns for our residents, so the PC bought the saltbins and supplies so we can all help ourselves. The work on pavements you have seen is carried out by the PC's part-time staff and volunteers. It would be more than helpful if uninformed people stopped criticising our efforts, and pitched in as volunteers.That way the whole VILLAGE could be made safe. Happy Christmas!!! Mike PS The bridge WAS salted !!! |

| Comments: | Why is the footpath from the secondary school to the town not salted in the weathe,after all there is only 1 narrow footpath on one side of the road and there is a lot of older people have to use this pavement,the corner of Why Road is like a skating rink and so is the bridge over the railway,its no excuse saying you have pur bins in various locations IT SHOULD BE GRITTED or do we have to wait until there has been an accident |

| Comments: | Hi Mike, Your comments are unfair, and would have benefited from checking your facts first. I agree with your comments about money wasted on Mayoral chains. The 6 bins were installed by the PC using the staff and volunteers, and were kept filled, and the High St pavements kept clear. However, this was done despite KCC, and was prompted by the abject failure of KCC during the bad weather last year. A lot of people worked very hard, and you are seeing the start of a program. If you have a complaint about your KCC bin in Sandy Ridge, I suggest you direct your complaint to KCC website, not us : we are not allowed to touch that bin. Rgds Mike |

We need salt bins with salt Now not next year and if money be a problem sell a few links in the mayors chain. |

In the original CD-ROM the contents on some parishes in the borough were scant - So many things occupying peoples time for the Millennium and I want to make up for this. With the increase on the information on the Internet I have discovered many things unbeknown to me and today I was pointed in your direction as someone who has the background on Borough Green that would be of interest both to the 'Green's and other residents in the Tonbridge & Malling area. Would you be willing in considering contributing items from your site - with some pictorial illustrations where possible. I don't know how long you have been running your site but I'm looking for a variety of subjects that have or are effecting the lives of local residents including housing - pastimes and village events.

This result is the culmination of many years of serious hard work in the community. This is what happens when people do not get a choice for 25 years. Remember you went and campaigned on the door step, you know what the people want OK, be magnanimous towards the young ladies that you beat at the polls, but anyone with a measure of common sense could see who to vote for. It wasn't them. |

| Comments: | Good Morning Trudy, Of course I am quite aware that Rachel Evans is not a relation of David Evans, and the mention on the website is quite clearly just humorous musing. However, I am not the architect of the suggestion that Rachel Evans is related to David: Their campaign literature says "we are both young women with views of our own that are not always identical to our parents", and several people I have spoken have read that as a relationship to Murray & Evans Senior. That was an opportunity I simply could not resist: you must admit that as a campaign slogan, "Murray & Evans, want more of the same?" does have a certain punch, even if you do not agree with the facts. Still, it is only a game, which your Dad enters into with the same enthusiasm and Machiavellian joy that I do, and it isn't quite as childish as spraying graffiti on campaign posters. Nice to know you are using my websites to keep up to date, and it is curious the family similarity in writing styles( and spelling errors). Mike Taylor |

Having lived in Borough Green for 22 years and now living in Ightham I have a keen interest in the village and find it interesting that this website, whilst claiming to publish hard facts, chooses to alude to and intimate that a shared surname means a relation? Does this mean that all previous articles and messages are assumption and purley used to misguide there readers? Unless my father has led a double life I can state that Rachel Evans is not related to David Evans. |
