Delivery Sponsored by Chalkwell Coach Hire and Tours Kings Hill Commuter The Quarterly Newsletter from Kings Hill Parish Council THE VIEW FROM THE HILL Autumn 2013 TO JOIN A RESIDENTS’ GROUP AND HELP SHAPE THE FUTURE OF KINGS HILL A WORD FROM YOUR CHAIRMAN In June we received Liberty Property Trust‟s long awaited proposal for Kings Hill (Phase 3) which set in motion our consultation process and what a success it was with over 400 people attending our public meeting and over 300 completing our questionnaire. Overwhelmingly residents expressed anger at the scale and density of the proposed development; shock at the lack of concrete proposals for a desperately needed primary school and bewilderment at its inappropriate location. This is not the viable and sustainable community we were promised: with no additional community or recreational facilities to mitigate 1,000 more houses and no land set aside should we wish to add them in the future, Kings Hill will become just another crowded housing estate. The Parish Council welcomes the news that residents have formed a group to fight this proposal and looks forward to helping and assisting them.

KINGS HILL SUMMER FETE
On 16 August the management
of Kings Hill‟s new £4million
sports park was officially handed
over to the Parish Council by
Liberty Property Trust UK and
Kent County Council at a
ceremony attended by local
sporting and community groups.
Kings Hill Sports Park, located at
the western end of Beacon
Avenue, has five grass pitches, a floodlit artificial pitch and a
pavilion with changing rooms and space for a kitchen and social
area. The site will also include allotments and extensive
landscaping.
Rob Wickenden, Facility Supervisor, said “it is an honour to be
the supervisor at the fantastic new Kings Hill Sports Park and
my intention is for the Sports Park to become the hub of your
sporting community”.
The facilities are now being used by Kings Hill Football Club
(KHFC) and other sporting groups for training and competitive
matches. Dan Mason, Chairman of KHFC said “We feel very
lucky to be a part of what are possibly the best facilities for a
grassroots football club. I feel it will enhance the „club‟ feel and
bring a great sense of community to Kings Hill”.
The social area, kitchen, bar and finishing touches will be
completed when the lease and funding arrangements have been
finalised, hopefully by the end of 2013.
KINGS HILL SPORTS PARK
The day was packed with fun and
entertainment and the crowds turned
out to join in. There were fair rides
and plenty of stalls, including
c h a r i t i e s r a i s i n g f u n d s f o r
themselves.
The fancy dress competition was judged
by the Mayor of Tonbridge and Malling,
Howard Rogers, pictured here with the
winners. The Parish Council raised
£416 towards a new sound system for
the Community Centre. Thank you to
everyone who bought raffle tickets,
joined in on the day, volunteered to help us and to all the
businesses that supported us with raffle prizes.
