The Chairman moved that the police report be taken next to enable PC Roddick
to return to his duties.
193. REPORT FROM PARISH WARDEN/COMMUNITY POLICE
PC Roddick reported on the crime figures for Ditton for last month which
totalled 13. This is an increase of 2 from the previous month and drop
of 8 over the same period last year.
P C Roddick advised that a colleague has gone on long term sick leave
and he is now covering Wateringbury and Nettlestead as well as Ditton.
He reported that the mobile CCTV seems to be working well as there have
been no reports of anti-social behaviour from that area, therefore he
feels the time is right to move it to another location. He will undertake
training on the CCTV around the Centre this week.
It was NOTED that the Community Warden’s replacement, Paul Crispe, has
been moved on and Martin Sherwood is his replacement until Tom Hawkwood
returns at the end of August.
P C Roddick hopes to meet up with him this week.

(g) Parish Accounts
Cllr. Nunn advised Members that he has spoken with the Council’s accountants,

Committees a more detailed profit and loss and balance sheet. The accountants
have advised that they do this for one other council. Cllr. Nunn advised
that it will require the staff to undertake training at a cost of £325
per day and that he is willing to undergo the training with the staff.
He feels it will save a lot of staff time in extracting information and
preparing spreadsheets.
RESOLVED Cllr. Nunn will obtain further details and put together a report
for the next meeting of the Council.
200. REPORTS FROM BOROUGH & COUNTY COUNCILLORS
County Councillor Geoff Rowe reported on the following matters:-
Maidstone Area Variable Message Signs - Within the next 2 to 4 weeks implementation
of the first phase of the Maidstone Area Variable Message Signs project
should have been completed. These signs should provide drivers with
timely, relevant and accurate information concerning the condition of
the road network. As far as local Ditton residents are concerned the first
three sets of signs are to be located on the A20 London Road near London
Road East, a second set further along the A20 near the Coldharbour
Roundabout and a third at Coldharbour Lane.
Cllr. Mulcuck asked if it is possible to have direction signs at the Coldharbour
roundabout as people are still using two lanes to go round into Maidstone.
He feels that although the road is clearly marked, drivers cannot see
this when the traffic is queued at the lights.
Members also enquired why the lights at this location could not be used
at peak times only.
Cllr. Rowe advised that he will be bringing this up again with the Joint
Transportation Board at its next meeting.
National Reading Challenge - KCC Libraries have again encouraged young
people to take up this years national Reading Challenge and read their
way through the summer holidays. This years "The Big Wild Read"
began on July 21st and is aimed at children aged between 4 -12. It encourages
them to read 6 or more books of their choice. On signing up at a library
facility they receive a special collectors folder to collect `scratch
and sniff stickers` for each finished book and can win additional prizes.
Leaflets – the following leaflets are now available.
o Kent Country Parks
o Tonbridge and Malling District Policing Teams
Tonbridge and Malling Local Board – next meets on Tuesday 4th September
at Kings Hill (7pm for 7.30pm). The theme for the meeting will be "Keeping
the traffic moving"
and is all about strategic traffic issues in Tonbridge and Malling, what
happens when Operation Stack is implemented and the impact on other traffic
in the Borough, plus other traffic issues relating to HGVs.
The allocation of grants and other issues also form part of the agenda
for this meeting. These are public meetings and everyone is invited.
The Joint Transportation Board - next meets on Monday 10th September
and the Tonbridge and Malling Parish Partnership Panel on Thursday 13th
September both at 7.30pm, at Kings Hill.
KCC Members Grants - additional requests from Ditton can still be considered.
