SLRA nominates an Olympic torch bearer
The SLRA has put forward a nomination for one of the 8000 citizens who will carry the Olympic torch on its journey round Britain in 2012. It is scheduled to go from Dover to Maidstone on 19 July 2012.
Our nomination is Ivor Groves, the postman who has served our community for the past 33 years. Ivor is also a resident of Sandyhurst Lane.
The citation, which is limited to 150 words, reads as follows:
"The Sandyhurst Lane Residents’ Association of Ashford, Kent wishes to nominate Ivor Groves as an Olympic torch bearer. Ivor has, for the past 33 years, been the most reliable, conscientious and loyal postman we could wish to have. Far more than just a postman, Ivor serves the community by keeping an eye on the aged and vulnerable, alerting residents to problems and incidents and carrying out countless good deeds for the community which he serves. He does all this with a helpful, pleasant and friendly disposition.
Furthermore, Ivor has raised over £13,000 for local and national charities by running in fifteen marathons and has represented his country in the World Veterans Athletics Championships in 1999 and 2001. He has also received community service awards from the Post Office, the Daily Mail and the Association of Men of Kent. He was made a Freeman of the City of London in 2007."
Nomination does not, of course, guarantee acceptance. Rather like the ticket buying process, there is a significant element of luck involved, because the short list will be prepared by ballot. Following this, a judging panel from the local area will make the decisions.
We will keep you informed of any progress with this nomination.

Footpath diversion - Public Notice of Confirmation
Following the Notice of plans to divert the footpath AE210, which runs from Sandyhurst Lane to Trinity Road (see news item 9 May 2011) and the SLRA response (news item 6 June 2011), the Public Notice of Confirmation has now been published. This means that the diversion will be implemented unless any complaint on a point of law is made and upheld. The Public Notice of Confirmation may be viewed here.

SLRA response to consultation on 'Submitted Sites' for Ashford Urban Sites and Infrastructure Development Plan
The SLRA has submitted a response to this consultation (see news item 25 May 2011) in respect of the two sites in Sandyhurst Lane. The response is as follows:
Sandyhurst Lane Residents' Association strongly objects to any attempt to build houses on Site E (former Nickolls Sandpit) and Site F (Braehead, 198 Sandyhurst Lane) with access onto Sandyhurst Lane on grounds of road safety. Earlier attempts to build 5 houses on Site E were refused.
Current private road between Tile Lodge (No. 196 Sandyhurst Lane) and Vine Cottage (No. 202) additionally gives access to May Cottage (No. 200), Nickolls Sandpit (Site E) and Braehead (No. 198, Site F).
Sandyhurst Lane has a pavement along the southerly side from Faversham Road to No. 300 followed by entrance to No. 296 and No. 298 and a chevron sign at the top of Tile Lodge Hill where road descends and bends sharply to the left. Most car accidents occur at this point having driven too fast and end up on the left hand bank (part of Eureka) or overturning into the road.
There is no footpath on either side of Tile Lodge Hill although it would be possible to walk on the wide grassed area on right if it were not for the trees from Sandyacres, or more probably KCC 's hedge overbranching onto the road. This possible escape for walkers disappears, when the second disused sandpit (Mrs Jean Fagg's) below Sandyacres is reached where the road bends to the RHS, opposite Vine Cottage, with a tree on the road edge of the sandpit. Most wing mirror losses occur here but more dangerous is the end to the LHS bend around No.196 Tile Lodge and private access road. Further crashes have occurred when cars emerging from the access road especially if travelling uphill.
Nickolls Sandpit extends from Vine Cottage (No. 202) up Tile Lodge Hill to Molehill (No. 250) and Eureka boundary and part of the Sandyhurst Farm access track.
Braehead (No. 298), about 2 acres, forms part of the SW boundary of Nickolls Sandpit, backing onto part of garden of Sandyhurst House. The approx 8 acres field between 198, Nickolls Sandpit, Sandyhurst House and the Alders is now owned by Trinity College Cambridge. It is not part of Upper Terrace currently being developed for commercial premises (Bidwells/Quadrant).
I doubt if Trinity/Bidwells would permit access from Site E & F onto Trinity Road.
Yours faithfully

BURGLARY ALERT
Burglars are active in Sandyhurst Lane. On 7 June 2011 a house was burgled near the Faversham Road end of Sandyhurst Lane. Another house in the Lane had an attempted break-in during May.

See the advice from Kent Police.

Footpath diversion - SLRA Response to Public Notice
Following the issue of a Public Notice relating to the diversion of footpath AE210 (see news item 9 May 2011), the SLRA has made a response as follows:
"Sandyhurst Lane Residents' Association supports the diversion of AE210 (part) under Public Path Diversion order 2011, provided it is safe to use, is landscaped, and is pleasant to walk.
The current position of AE210 through the hedge between F and G, down a bank into the boggy uneven ground adjacent to the unfenced pond, and up a high bank to reach the raised farm access track from AU2A towards rear of Molehill (No 250), is dangerous. We objected to this dangerous route last year (Planning Application 10/00537/AS Ashford Borough Council) which was instituted by KCC PROW to return to AE210 original route.
This year (2011) has been the driest season for years, but in previous years (e.g. 1999-2002) this area was flooded and was not passable. Can we urgently request that the barbed wire and branches, blocking the previous well-used AE210 route from Sandyhurst Farm Cottage/AU2A along the level raised farm access track, be removed to enable disabled walkers to access proposed AE210 diversion safely without waiting for Diversion Order 2011 approval and kissing gates to be installed?"

Site F: Land at 198 Sandyhurst Lane
This site is being proposed for residential development of 'around 4-5 homes'. It lies adjacent to Site E.
The leaflet includes the statement "Please note these sites and proposals are not being promoted by the Council and do not constitute the Council’s intentions for future development in the urban area. However, comments received will help inform the final contents of Urban Sites and Infrastructure DPD, which will be submitted to the Secretary of State for consideration towards the end of 2011."

SLRA nominates an Olympic torch bearer
The SLRA has put forward a nomination for one of the 8000 citizens who will carry the Olympic torch on its journey round Britain in 2012. It is scheduled to go from Dover to Maidstone on 19 July 2012.
Our nomination is Ivor Groves, the postman who has served our community for the past 33 years. Ivor is also a resident of Sandyhurst Lane.
The citation, which is limited to 150 words, reads as follows:
"The Sandyhurst Lane Residents’ Association of Ashford, Kent wishes to nominate Ivor Groves as an Olympic torch bearer. Ivor has, for the past 33 years, been the most reliable, conscientious and loyal postman we could wish to have. Far more than just a postman, Ivor serves the community by keeping an eye on the aged and vulnerable, alerting residents to problems and incidents and carrying out countless good deeds for the community which he serves. He does all this with a helpful, pleasant and friendly disposition.
Furthermore, Ivor has raised over £13,000 for local and national charities by running in fifteen marathons and has represented his country in the World Veterans Athletics Championships in 1999 and 2001. He has also received community service awards from the Post Office, the Daily Mail and the Association of Men of Kent. He was made a Freeman of the City of London in 2007."
Nomination does not, of course, guarantee acceptance. Rather like the ticket buying process, there is a significant element of luck involved, because the short list will be prepared by ballot. Following this, a judging panel from the local area will make the decisions.
We will keep you informed of any progress with this nomination.
