New parking bays in Madan Road, Hartley Road and Costells Meadow Car Park in Westerham, with a further site in Crockham Hill Playing Field. We are pleased to advise that following the long process of drawing up designs, applying for planning permission and securing funding, two of these schemes have finally been implemented. Two parking bays have been created in Madan and Hartley Roads. There is still a little landscaping to be done but the bays have been ‘white lined’ to provide clearly identified spaces. 31 new parking spaces have been provided in total, which we hope will help to alleviate the parking problems for residents in the vicinity. The third scheme to extend and resurface Costells Meadow Car Park, serving King George’s Field, is now underway. The work is on schedule and should be completed before the end of the January, weather allowing. We do hope that these new parking spaces will help to address some of the parking issues in these areas! Full article
What we do
As the level of local government closest to those who live and work in the town and its surrounding areas, the Town Council strives to improve the quality of life in the area; it provides important services within the community and represents the views of local people in all matters which affect Westerham.
Its 13 Councillors work through 5 committees to carry out its responsibilities: the Allotments, Playing Fields and Open Spaces Committee, the Finance and General Purposes Committee, the Highways and Lighting Committee, the Planning and Development Committee and the Youth and Community Committee.
Central to everything it does is communication and engagement with the community, ranging from detailed consultations on specific issues, to a wide ranging survey on which was based the current 4 year strategy. It is constantly seeking new ways to engage with its residents and businesses.
In so doing it works closely with local organisations: the Westerham Town Partnership, the Westerham Society, our local primary school, Rotary Club, as well as with the District, and County Council and with our MP.
