Meet at the public car park in Staplehurst opposite the church (GR785 430). for a circular walk of about 6 miles passing through Frittenden. Contact walk leader on: 01622 744464. Assistance dogs only Love Loose.... Hate Litter If you care about your neighbourhood, hate litter and the effect it has on the environment, then join a new group determined to make a difference. Discarded plastic can litter our streets but also poison wildlife and find its way into our oceans. Can you a spare an hour or so every few weeks to clear a small area around your home or on your favourite dog walking route? Clearing litter on a regular basis can make a big difference! Litter pickers, gloves and high visibility vests will be provided and the litter you collect can be placed in your domestic waste bins. Become a Loose Litter Picking Hero today by emailing office@loose-pc.gov.uk or calling 07855 000156. Keep fit and eat healthily, for the price of a month’s gym membership you could have an allotment at the site at the top of Old Loose hill. If you are interested please contact Shelagh on 07795438177. News from North Loose Residents’ Association Our Chair has already organised several events for the coming year. There have been two Litter Picks already – one in Enterprise Road and another along Loose Road. There was our annual day at Rumwoods when NLRA members got a 20% discount. The AGM is fixed for 12th May at Loose Junior School and we’ll let you know about ‘Meeting and Greeting’, ‘Treasure Hunts’ and ‘Boundary Walks’ later along with the work we will be doing on Loose Greenway. Richard and Cathy continue to do a fantastic job with North Loose Ends – all our ‘Loose Enders’ really enjoy the activities they plan and arrange. 4
The year started with some Gentle Yoga, in March Colin Breed a retired Kent Chief Inspector gave a very well-received talk about Royal Visits to Kent and on April 18th we’ve got the Loose Ends Grand National. What’s that? Well you better come along and find out! Contact richard@northloose.co.uk There’s lots more organised for the rest of the year but from May onwards – when Liz Lovatt will talk about ‘Avoiding Scams’ and Paul Ledger with his dog Yorick will talk about ‘Hearing Dogs’ - all meetings will be on the third Wednesday of the month.
Let’s clean up together Litter is a blight on our lovely village and a health hazard to wildlife and children. Please commit to clear a pavement or green space near you. All equipment will be provided.

A modern solution to rat control, fertility treatment for rats! In the US authorities have been trialling a new bait called ContraPest to tackle rat infestations in New York and some East Coast cities. The bait stops female rats from having pups by making them infertile by triggering early menopause and affects male rats by impairing sperm production. There are no side effects and the rats die of natural causes. Some would say this is more humane than using poisons. The New York subway trial halved the resident rat population in three months. On the East Coast a trial at a farm made numbers fall by a third in three months. In another urban trial population growth was supressed during the peak breeding season so the population expanded at only one third the expected rate.
One contradictory point is that rats that don’t take the bait may end up having bigger, healthier litters because there is less competition for food. SenesTech are also looking at adapting the formulation for the control of mice and feral pigs; possibly feral deer, dogs and cats too! Unfortunately this product is not licensed for use in the UK. For a more traditional approach to rodent control, including trapping and poisoning contact Pest Purge for advice and support. We guarantee to get rid of your rats completely.
One breeding pair of rats can produce 15,000 pups a year, so if you can reduce that by a third in the first few months of using this bait, that is 5000 fewer rats. Part of the logic of using fertility control rather than poisoning is that killing rats simply means that others move in and take their place; fertility control maintains a small population of existing rats that guard their territory from newcomers.
Pest Purge Ltd For all your pest problems
Wasps, Rats, Mice, Squirrels, Fox, Rabbits, Bedbugs, Fleas Birds, Cockroaches and Moles
Pest Control
One advantage is that there is no risk of secondary poisoning to non-target species. The flavoured liquid-bait is ingested by the rat, the chemicals are then broken down by the rats’ metabolism, preventing them from getting into predators bodies or the wider environment.

Preparing for later life medical treatment, where you should live and what your daily routine should be. • A Property and Financial Affairs LPA will allow your attorney to access and manage your finances if you are unable to do this. They will be able to access your bank account, pay bills, and organise the sale of your property if you need to go into a care home. Time to take stock, plan ahead and to get organised and with the rise in dementia cases here in the UK, planning for later life has never been more important.

All LPAs must be registered with the Office of the Public Guardian before they can be used, which can take up to ten weeks to complete.

It is very important therefore that these decisions are made by the person concerned before it is too late, so that they and their family and friends know exactly what their wishes are and how they would like them to be carried out. As people grow older, it is important that they enjoy their later years, without the worry of what happens, should they be unable to care for themselves.
