Just to let people here know the background to this situation.Hextable is currently part of Swanley parish and people from Hextable can therefore access the full range of services provided by Swanley Town Council. Those services are very extensive compared to typical town councils and include Senior and Youth Passport schemes providing trips to facilities not available in the town, sports pitches, parks, bars and restaurants as well as allotments. Some of the services are provided for Swanley residents only while others can be accessed by anyone. Following a campaign by Hextable Residents Association and the Hextable ward councillors for a separate parish, Hextable ceases to be part of Swanley on 1 April 2008. We warned Hextable residents about the loss of access to Swanley services if Hextable became a separate parish but residents backed the separation in a consultation regardless. I feel very sorry for Mrs Ford and for the people who can no longer access other Swanley services after 1 April this year. Unfortunately it is an inevitable consequence of the choice that Hextable residents have made. I suspect the main reason why people backed the separation of Hextable from Swanley was because they were told by their Hextable Independent councillors that it would mean lower council taxes. In reality the council tax in Hextable will go up by 15 per cent. Residents were also told by Hextable Independent Councillors that they would get the same services. The claims made by the Hextable Independents about council tax and services are both now shown to be untrue.Rather than getting uptight about Swanley Town Council, people should really be directing their criticism at the Hextable Independent councillors who campaigned for a separate parish and misled Hextable residents into supporting it.
Was a town councillor (Labour). Was beaten at the last election by a Conservative.
