Arriva stops serving the village.  

The Parish Council is working with local residents and the Borough Councillors to try to get the decision by Arriva to stop servicing the bus stop by the golf course at Sandling reversed.  

Residents can be kept updated by supplying the parish office with their e-mail details.  Details, when possible, will also be placed on notice boards and the web site.  

Arriva has stated that it is for health and safety reasons that it has stopped servicing the bus stop and that KCC has explored alternative designs for the lay by but due to lack of finances this is not being progressed at the time.  

A resident has started a petition and if you feel strongly then it is suggested that you sign this.  If you wish to lobby Kent County Council then your County Councillor is Paul.carter@kent.gov.uk and the Cabinet Member for Environment, Highways and Waste is Nick. Chard@kent.gov.uk alternatively you can write to them via Kent County Council, County Hall, Maidstone , Kent ME14 1XQ .  It would help if you could copy any letters to the Parish Council as it is likely the issue will be notified to the Maidstone Joint Transportation Board.
