Keston Village Residents' Association

Some people have mentioned that they receive Winter Fuel Payments, but they are in the fortunate position of not needing them. Bromley Community Fund is running the Surviving Winter Appeal in Bromley. They are inviting those who feel they can afford to forego their Winter Fuel Payment, to donate it, or a part of it, to Bromley residents in greater need this winter. They will also welcome donations from people of any age, who do not yet qualify for this benefit!

The content below is from note 59 of the Boundary Commision Proposals. Have your say by 5th December 2011 by clicking on the following link http://consultation.boundarycommissionforengland.independent.gov.uk/

“In the Borough of Bromley, we noted that the electorate was of a suitable size to form three constituencies. We therefore propose to include one ward (Cray Valley West) from the existing Bromley and Chislehurst constituency in the Orpington constituency.

We also propose to include two wards (Bromley Common and Keston, and Hayes and Coney Hall) from the existing Beckenham constituency in the Bromley and Chislehurst constituency.”

Between May and September 2012 you could show your support for Harris HospisCare by holding an event in your garden. It could be a tea and cakes party, a raffle or even a BBQ! Invite friends and neighbours and enjoy the wonderful weather together, all whilst helping to raise vital funds for your local hospice.

No garden is too big or too small. For more information and ideas about opening your garden – including ways in which we can help you by providing volunteers, tables, gazebos and water urns – please contact Sandra Rumbold on 01689 825775 or sandra.rumbold@harrishospiscare.org.uk

In a letter to Residents on 10th August 2011, Councillor Stephen Carr explained that the Executive had not been convinced by the business case put forward by Biggin Hill Airport Limited (BHAL) and had rejected the revised proposal. In addition the 1700 responses had been carefully considered.
