GENERAL ELECTION 2024 RESULTS
"Our Tim" did not get elected, but the results show he had huge support locally. Tim is sad he did not get more, but it has been a great experience for all of us, a step up from our local campaigning.

The killing of innocent Ukrainian civilians continues on this the second anniversary of the Russian invasion. Perhaps if Joe Biden diverted the arms going to Israel to Ukraine, he could stop two wars at once, one in Ukraine, and one in Gaza.

USE 'EM OR LOSE 'EM
The Parish Alliance led by Borough Green PC have worked with Nu-Venture Buses to ensure a weekly "Shopper Trip" can be maintained on the 58 and 70 routes to West Malling Larkfield and Maidstone.

One of the regular contributions to the Voice for many years were the humorous observations about village life and characters by Muriel Rurial, now sadly ended.
