CALL TO "SHOP LOCALLY" AS WOOLIES AND THE REGENT CLOSE The imminent closure of two long-established Deal businesses has prompted calls for people to "shop locally". Woolworths store in Deal High Street and the Regent Bingo Hall on the seafront will both shut in the next few weeks with an estimated loss of close on 30 jobs. Deal town mayor Councillor Bill Gardner has stressed the importance of shoppers using Deal as much as possible for their spending. He said: "I urge everyone to stay in the town to shop." Chamber of Trade chairman Peter Varrall is reported to have sounded an optimistic note. He felt that the closing premises would soon attract newcomers. Deal, he said, remained fortunate in still having a wide variety of shops. (December 17, 2008) |

PUBLIC'S VIEWS SOUGHT ON MARKET MOVE Should Deal's Saturday market - currently held in the Union Road carpark at the northern end of the High Street - move to a new location and even be held on a different day? Dover District Council is thinking about a possible change to free up the space in the car park used by traders to provide much needed parking. Before anything is decided, the council wants to hear the views of the public. There's more on the Dover Council website at www.dover.gov.uk. If you would like to offer your thoughts, contact Dianne Hopper by before 2 March 2009. (December 17, 2008) |

FLOOD DEFENCES ARE FAST TRACKED Work to strengthen sea flooding defences at north Deal is being brought forward to the coming year. The Environment Agency says that it expects to have £200,000 available in 2009 so it can make a start on designing improvements to the wave wall and topping up the protective embankment between Sandown and Sandwich Bay. The cash was originally scheduled for 2010 and 2011 but has been brought forward as one of the measures in the Government's budget plans. (December 11, 2008) |

ACTION TO SAFEGUARD COUNCIL CASH Walmer parish councillors have been looking at the security of council funds should their bankers default. Councillor Derek Murphy advised them that he had discovered that the Financial Services Authority does not provide the same guarantee to parish councils that it offers to private individuals for loss of funds on amounts up to £50,000. The Clerk reported that the Kent Association of Local Councils had confirmed this and, because of the current instability in the banking world, had advised councils to spread their funds among several financial institutions. In view of this, councillors agreed that the parish council's funds should be deposited in three different accounts - with two amounts of £50,000 and one of £60,000. Authority was given to the chairman, vice-chairman and two council auditors to determine appropriate accounts in which to make the investments. (November 23, 2008) |

SPRING OPENING FORECAST FOR REVIVED ASTOR Deal Arts Management, the group selected to run the Astor Theatre
in Deal, is working towards a grand re-opening of the venue in
April 2009. The group's artistic director and chief executive

BANKING CRISIS PROMPTS COUNCIL CASH REVIEW Concerns over the security of sums of more than £50,000 deposited with any individual bank have prompted Walmer Parish Council to look at how best to handle its funds. At their meeting on Wednesday (12 November) councillors will be considering a report by Cllr Derek Murphy that outlines the possible risks to any cash balances that exceed the £50,000 guaranteed by the Financial Services Authority in the event of a UK bank collapsing. So far, he warns, it is not clear whether any losses by a local authority beyond this would be covered by the government or other bodies. Walmer Parish Council currently has around £160,000 lodged with NatWest and the decision facing councillors is whether to leave the cash where it is or split it across a number of banks and building societies, keeping each deposit below the £50,000 limit. Cllr Murphy says that although the latter option is "safer", it could mean a loss of interest and involve more administrative work at the parish office. (November 7, 2008) |

SIGNS COULD HELP SORT OUT LORRY PROBLEM Concerns at the problems caused by large vehicles trying to use Church Street, Walmer as a route between the A258 Dover Road and Court Road have been taken up by Walmer Parish Council. There has been a growing concern by local residents at the increasing numbers of very large goods vehicles tempted to use the road - often persuaded by their sat-navs - only to discover that part of it is very narrow with a sharp bend. As a result, some are forced to reverse and seek another route, blocking the road and causing congestion while they do so. The parish council has suggested to Kent Highways Unit that a warning sign could usefully be placed at the Court Road junction and, possibly, at Dover Road as well. (November 7, 2008) |

SITE VISIT FOR CONTROVERSIAL HOUSING SCHEME Dover Council's planning committee has agreed with a suggestion by Walmer Parish Council that they should visit the the site of a proposed housing development on land at the corner of Court Road and Station Drive before making any decision. The parish council has strongly objected to the scheme, saying that it would be cramped, cause traffic congestion and road safety problems, have inadequate parking, add to existing flooding problems and lose privacy for the rear gardens of a number of existing houses in Court Road. The site meeting is scheduled for Monday, 17 November and several parish council members say they will be there. (November 7, 2008) |

CHANGES TO REFUSE AND RECYCLING COLLECTIONS Dover District Council has unveiled its plans for collecting more items for recycling. From Monday, 3 November plastics bottles and cardboard can also be put out with paper, cans, glass bottles and jars as part of the fortnightly black box recycling scheme. Householders are being given a blue reusable bag for paper and card while their existing black box should now be used for the storage and collection of plastics bottles, cans, glass bottles and jars. The green garden waste collection scheme will also be extended to a further 13,000 properties from Monday, 3 November. Newcomers will receive a green reusable bag along with a leaflet explaining how the fortnightly collections will work. The regular collection of ordinary household waste remains weekly. The new services mean that the Council has had to re-organise its collection rounds and many householders will find that they have different refuse, recycling and green waste collection days. Details are given in a leaflet being delivered to all affected properties and are also on Dover Council's website at: http://www.dover.gov.uk/recycling/new/ (October 27, 2008) |

BEWARE OF ROGUE TRADERS Kent Trading Standards has reminded local householders to be very wary when people turn up out-of-the-blue to offer home repairs or improvements. The warning follows reports from a neighbouring part of Kent about unsolicited callers offering to carry out driveway work which then proved to be costly and unsatisfactory. Although consumers have a legal right to cancel any doorstep agreements inside seven days, Trading Standards recommend people should always get written quotes from reputable traders. Very often asking friends, family and neighbours will produce some reliable recommendations. Alternatively, for details of a range of approved traders, call Consumer Direct on 0845 4040506.

LOCAL ARTS GROUP TO RUN DEAL'S THEATRE Moves to breathe new life into Deal's Astor Theatre have taken a vital step forward with the announcement that Deal Town Council is backing a bid by local arts group Deal Arts Management to run the Stanhope Road building. The theatre closed earlier this summer and, since then, the town council has been consulting with local organisations interested in its future. On Monday (29 September), councillors agreed to support Arts Management's proposals for operating the venue as the "Astor Community Theatre". Heading up the new arts group is its chief executive and artistic director James Tillitt. He will be supported by a team of local people including project coordinator Colin Whittington and marketing and publicity manager Denis Hart. They are currently preparing a detailed programme of events and activities that they intend will have broad appeal and involve the Deal and Walmer community. It is understood that Lord Astor of Hever has been interested in the plans to bring the theatre back into use and has agreed to become its patron. Although the arts group is keen to "open the doors" as soon as possible, they must wait for the town council to finalise conditions of a lease with Dover District Council, the owners of the theatre.

ACTION ON DEAL TOWN CENTRE TROUBLEMAKERS Deal town centre has been designated as a "dispersal area" under the Anti-Social Behaviour Act 2003. The move by Kent Police and Dover District Council means that the police now have stronger powers to deal with any groups of people behaving badly. The legislation is designed to deal with incidents where two or more people are causing "intimidation, harassment, alarm or distress" to other members of the public. They can be ordered to disperse by a police officer and failure to comply could result in a fine or even up to three months in prison. Young people under 16 who are not with a responsible adult can be taken home if out between 9pm and 6am. The Deal dispersal area scheme has been introduced for the next six months after which it will be reviewed by the authorities. (September 28, 2008) |

DEARER PARKING COULD DETER SHOPPERS Plans to increase the cost of parking in the Sainsbury's car park in West Street, Deal have been criticised as a threat to town centre shops. Due to be introduced on 30 September, the new charges are £1 for one hour (currently 70p), £2 for two hours (currently £1) and £3 for three hours (currently £1.50). The car park is owned by Sainsburys and, at present, shoppers in the store can claim a refund on the first hour of their parking fee. The supermarket is reported as saying that this will be extended to a two hours refund. Dover Council's Labour group leader Councillor Ben Bano is concerned that the big increase will discourage people from shopping locally. Deal had seen shop closures in recent weeks and the local economy was "increasingly fragile". It was, he said, essential to keep parking charges reasonable. (September 17, 2008) |

NEW DAYS AND VENUES FOR POLICE AND COUNCIL "SURGERIES" Walmer parish councillors are hoping that new arrangements for the public to "drop in" and discuss any matters of local concern with representatives of the council and the police will prove more popular. A series of earlier "surgeries" on Thursday mornings at Walmer Parish Hall attracted very few people, so councillors have decided to see if different days and locations will work better. The venues being tried for the new surgeries are the Landmark Centre in Deal High Street, the RMA Club on The Strand and the Upper Walmer Sub-post office. No appointments are necessary and the sessions provide an opportunity to not only raise concerns but put forward ideas for local improvements. The first session is in The Landmark Centre on Saturday, 20 September from 10am to 12noon. Details of future dates and times will be published in the WalmerWeb events listings.

CALL FOR WIDER CONSULTATION ON ROAD CHANGE Walmer parish councillors say that all local residents need to be consulted before any move to make Walmer Castle Road a one-way street. At the full meeting of the council on Wednesday, 3 September, members considered a letter from a local resident outlining local traffic problems and requesting a one-way flow. Cllr Les Alton reported that he had previously made enquiries about this and the Highways Unit had indicated that they were not keen to create one-way systems as they tended to encourage speeding. Parish councillors also wondered whether all residents would be in favour of such a move and there were concerns over the potential effect on neighbouring streets such as Granville Road and Grams Road. They agreed that they should ask the Highways Unit to undertake a survey of local residents to establish the level of support for a change. (September 12, 2008) |

ALLOTMENTS PLAN "ON HOLD" Plans to provide new allotments on a piece of land at Churchill Avenue, Walmer have suffered a setback. It had originally seemed that Dover District Council, who own the site, would give it to Walmer Parish Council for a token sum. But now Dover's Head of Housing has said his council is "unable to dispose of any housing revenue account land without due consideration to its market value". Letters have been sent by Dover Council to all neighbouring properties asking if anyone is interested in purchasing some or all of the land. Answers are expected by 30 September and Walmer councillors are hoping that will confirm whether their allotment plans remain viable. (September 12, 2008) |

FILMS RETURN TO DEAL A new venture to bring films and live performances back to Deal launches in September. Behind the scheme - to be run as the Interludes Stage and Screen Club - are local residents Denis Hart and Colin Whittington. They are promising that Interludes will present live performances by established actors, authors, broadcasters and musicians and also screen a wide variety of films including classic and foreign language movies and documentaries and films with a local interest. Local interest is certainly a feature of the first film for the season on Friday, 12 September. It's "Ruby Blue" starring Bob Hoskins and uses several Deal locations, including the pier and Jenkins fishmongers on the High Street. Interludes co-founder Denis Hart said: “This is a fantastic coup for us and Deal. The film only went on general release, mostly to independent cinemas around the country, earlier this year. I contacted the production company and not only did they let us have the film for a single screening, the acclaimed director Jan Dunn agreed to attend to introduce the film and answer questions.” The other co-founder Colin Whittington explained: “We decided to take the initiative and launch Interludes following the shock closure of Deal’s only cinema last year. Our aim is to provide a welcoming atmosphere where the audience can feel relaxed and the entertainment on offer, be it film or live performance, is going to be stimulating, interesting and fun.” There are two film screenings a month on a Friday evening using the latest digital equipment projecting onto a large screen approximately 15ft wide by 12ft high. The live performances are once a month on a Saturday night. The club will be based in St Georges Hall, off Deal High Street, although other venues may be used when appropriate. Although Interludes will be offering annual membership, tickets will also be available to the public "on the night" or in advance from a number of outlets in the town. Details of the Interludes programme appear in this website's coming events listings. And for further information, contact Colin Whittington on 01304

IS YOURS AN OPEN HOUSE FOR THIEVES? As part of their "Safer Summer" campaign, Kent Police warn that the temptation for householders to air the house by leaving windows and doors wide open when the weather is good can also be very tempting to thieves. Although over the last decade burglaries in Kent have halved, research shows that when burglaries occur, one in four is because a thief has managed to get into a property through an open window or door. People can help avoid attracting the unwelcome attentions of these crooks by some simple measures. The Police advise:
HomeSafe - a scheme to help people who have experienced burglary for the first time or may need specific advice due to their circumstances. HandyVan - run in partnership with Kent County Council and Help the Aged - which provides safety and security advice and products for the elderly in residential homes. Senior Link - a 24-hour phone number that gives help in an emergency and advice to those answering a door to strangers. For more details of these, call
