Wye Historical Society AGM and meeting
Wed, 04 Mar 2020 19:30

19.30 (doors open at 19.00)
Peter Ewart: 'Smuggling in Kent'
The talk will cover the heyday of smuggling in Kent during the 18th and early 19th centuries and how smuggling came about. Descriptive accounts of the methods adopted by these 'Honest Thieves', the crimes committed by these large and violent gangs and how they covered them up, gives the lie to any romantic notions of smugglers as harmless, jolly rascals.
Annual subscription fees are payable from 1 October: £10.00 per person. This includes the annual journal Wye Local History. Meetings are held in the Lady Joanna Thornhill School at 19.30 on the first Wednesday of the month from October to April.
Members can also opt to receive the Journal of Kent History, published in March and September at a charge of £5, or £7 for those outside Wye. New members and visitors are welcome to join.

Ashford 2030: Priorities for the future
10.00 - 12.30 (Timing TBC)
Ashford Borough Council is working to shape an ambitious new vision for the borough. Ahead of the review of the Corporate Plan (2020-2025) and the Local Plan to 2030, the council has embarked on a major Futures Study, working in partnership with Work Advance Ltd and Experian PLC. We are exploring 'what do we want to achieve over the next decade' 'what steps do we need to take now to ensure a prosperous, inclusive and sustainable future for Ashford, Tenterden and the surrounding villages and rural areas'.
A draft vision is being complied following a workshop in early February, where local councils were represented by the Chair and Vice Chair of Ashford KALC. The next stage is to test and refine the draft vision. This will be facilitated through a focused workshop. We have arranged 3 dates to undertake this exercise and would like to extend an invitation to local councils to attend one of these.

Ashford 2030: Priorities for the future POSTPONED
Shape the vision for the future of Ashford Borough.
Over the past decade, the Ashford Borough has witnessed considerable economic success and growth. But what do we want to achieve over the next decade? And what steps do we need to take now to ensure a prosperous, inclusive and sustainable future for Ashford, Tenterden and the surrounding villages and rural areas?
Ahead of the review of the Corporate Plan (2020-2025) and the Local Plan to 2030, Ashford Borough Council is embarking on a major Futures Study, working in partnership with Work Advance Ltd and Experian PLC.
Following a large-scale process of evidence gathering and engagement, including a major visioning event in February 2020 attended by nearly 100 stakeholders from across the Borough, the research has developed an ambitious new vision for Ashford, Tenterden and the surrounding villages and rural areas. Through this 2.5 hour session we will discuss, debate and refine this vision; and explore the strategic priorities and actions necessary to make it a reality.
