From your County Councillor Following the Grenfell Tower fire, KCC has been carrying out extra fire safety checks on the approximately 1,000 buildings for which it is responsible. So far none have been identified as having cladding of the type used at Grenfell tower but work is continuing on all cladding and insulation and to check that the Fire Risk Assessments for all the buildings are up to date. If you’d like to know more you can see the Property Management and Health and Safety officers present an update to KCC’s Scrutiny Committee on 07 June on the recorded webcast or read the minutes of this meeting on the KCC website. Ever since responsibility for Public Health returned to local government in 2013 we County Councillors have learned more than we ever expected when we entered politics about obesity, smoking, depression and more of this ilk. We have also learned that the answer to just about all of these woes is greater physical activity – even a little will help and that, however late you start, exercise will bring you health benefits. This is why the work of the Shepway Sports Trust (see the District Councillors report) is so important in helping people across our district find a sport they can enjoy. If you haven’t already been to the Three Hills sports park (next to Morrisons in Folkestone) do go as there are activities for all age groups and levels of fitness. The Trust would like to do more to reach people in rural areas and to help get children and clubs to competitions and is now fundraising for a fleet of four minibuses. I have started their appeal with a £1,000 grant from my KCC Member Fund and they hope to raise the £23,000 they need for the first vehicle by September Part of my new responsibilities at KCC includes the stand at the annual Kent County Show held at Detling. This year our theme was apprenticeships which have changed radically from April this year being open to anyone over 16 and not just for entry level jobs. Our stand hosted partners from the NHS, builders, Gillingham Football, EDF energy (Dungeness power station), forestry and the hospitality industry and both people looking to be apprentices and businesses wanting to take on apprentices visited our stand. If you know anyone or a business that would benefit from an apprenticeship, do please look at the Made in Kent campaign on the KCC website www.kent.gov.uk for more information. Matthew Scott, our Police and Crime Commissioner for Kent is once again holding a public consultation on the priorities for Kent Police. It’s available 16
online at www.kent-pcc.gov.uk/listening-to-you/public-consultations or phone 01622 677055 for a paper copy. It’s the best opportunity we have to influence what Kent Police do and in my personal response I shall be asking for more to be done to stop speeding and other dangerous driving. My reports to you in this newsletter only skim the surface of the work of KCC and its councillors. I have recently had a work experience student shadow me for a week and she has been surprised to find just how much is involved both in time and the breadth of what’s covered. If any of you would like to join me for a day or longer to get a feel for the job then I would be happy to arrange this. Susan Carey Member for Elham Valley

The Historic Houses Association (HHA) represents over 1,640 of the UK's privately and charitably owned historic houses, castles and gardens. These are listed buildings or designated gardens, usually Grade I or II*, and are often outstanding. Many are considered to be iconic symbols of Britain's unique heritage. Around 500 of these properties open their doors to visitors for days out, special tours, school visits, film locations, weddings and events, or as memorable places to stay. 24 million people a year visit HHA Member properties and there are over 45,000 Friends of the HHA. Members range from iconic stately homes such as Blenheim Palace, Highclere Castle, Castle Howard, Knebworth House, Longleat and Burghley House, to more intimate houses such as Traquair in Scotland, Treowen in Wales and Belle Isle in Northern Ireland. Most are still private family homes. The Association was established in 1973 to help owners conserve these wonderful places in the interests of the nation and carries out important lobbying, advisory and marketing work on behalf of Member properties.
