Town Talk
on town crime SNODLAND residents have been wondering why a police car has been parked in the High Street, Queens Avenue or the Rocfort Road car park for about a month. Operation Hobbit was launched
by Kent Police in April. Seven peo- ple were arrested in a crackdown on shoplifting and antisocial be- haviour and officers have seized more than 2kg of cannabis. After groceries were reported
stolen from the Co-op in the High Street, Natasha Turner, of Willow- side, Snodland was arrested and charged with three offences of shoplifting. Police have issued a number of cautions and warnings for posses- sion of cannabis. Officers are also investigating an incident on April 23 when more than 2kg of cannabis was seized. A Mazda MX6 was stopped in
Brook Street and twomen were ar- rested on suspicion of possessing drugs with intent to supply. They were bailed, pending further en- quiries.
OperationHobbitwill continue to
target criminals in Snodland. Pa- trols have been increased to iden- tify offenders and deter criminals who may travel from other areas to commit crime.
SNODLAND residents who fancy growing their own fruit and vegeta- bles are being invited to apply for an allotment. The town council has two sites -
Birling Lands at Catts Alley and Sloughfield at the recreation ground,Malling Road. Derek Way of Veles Road, a member of the allotment commit- tee, said: “In these days of high prices at our supermarkets there is nothing like picking and eating homegrown fresh fruit and vegeta- bles. With the lack of space in our back gardens we have the option of renting an allotment from the

town council. “Owning an allotment is not just
about growing veg, fruit and flow- ers, it is about being out in the fresh air and getting a little fitter than we would be walking around super- markets. It is also about the cama- raderie and being part of the allotment society.” Yearly rental for allotments ranges from £9.38 to £18.75. There is a three-month probationary pe- riod for people to decide if they want to continue with the allotment. Further details are available from
the council office in Waghorn Road, telephone 01634 240228.
Penalties and prizes for players
ABOUT £3,000 was raised by Snodland Town Football Club at a com- bined penalty shoot-out and presentation evening. About 180 footballers took 6,183 penalties at Potyns SportsGround. Every club player received a tro-
phy and there were awards for play- ers’ player andmanagers’ player. Club vice-chairman Jason Cook
said: “The weather held out and it was a good morning to take the penalties from under 5s to under 18s. All the kids involved did very well. Dave Morgan and the U9s team (pictured) raised the most, with £494.”

Sports group folds
SNODLAND Sports Association has been dissolved due to lack of interest. The decision was “reluctantly”
taken by the few remaining mem- bers at the annual meeting. The association was at the fore-
front of negotiations for the new bowls green in Paddlesworth Road and the new sports pitches at Potyns. The town’s boxing club, Saracens Gym and Snodland Community Cricket Club were among others who benefited from the association.
