Noise complaints Several parishioners spoke about anti-social behaviour, noise and damage caused by children when the the Sunday church congregation hires the village hall. The childrenwere said to be unsupervised and when parishioners had approached the congregation, they had found it intimidating. It had been suggested the gate be closed while the groupwas in the hall, but this had encouraged the gate to be used as a climbing frame and it had been damaged. Communitywarden Liz Lova suggested that parishioners keep a log of all incidents and report them to her or the police.

Planning The council was preparing for an independent examination of the neighbourhood plan. It was hoped this might begin in September. Heath RoadWork was due to begin on installation of the revised Heath Road traffic calming scheme. Notices were distributed to residents about likely road closures and temporary traffic restrictions. Summer activities Due to difficulties in measuring value for money, the parish council decided not to give money to the Kent Youth Programme for its summer programme. Money would instead be ring-fenced for other youth projects. Play area The parish council was to chase Maidstone Council on the potential handover of responsibilities for redundant play areas such as Whitebeam Drive. Lights The ownership of streetlights were being taken up with KCC Highways. Bus shelter Repairs to the Heath Road bus shelter were due to be undertaken. Railings New safety railings had been installed at the informal entrances to the village hall car park off Stocke Lane.
