PARISH ALLIANCE SHOPPER BUSES

                         USE 'EM OR LOSE 'EM

The Parish Alliance led by Borough Green PC have worked with Nu-Venture Buses to ensure a weekly "Shopper Trip" can be maintained on the 58 and 70 routes to West Malling Larkfield and Maidstone. We have obtained a grant from KCC and financial support from the participating Parishes. The success of the route depend on local people making sure all our elderly people are aware of the Services.

 TIMETABLES    70 Monday &   58 Fridays     from 20 Jan 2025

Another Past Parish Council Chairman and Local Hero  without whose efforts the Village would be a poorer place.

As well as the Recreation Ground and Pavilion, the Original 1980s Potters Mede pavilion and Sportsground, he also built the school swimming pool.

BERNIE'S AID TRIP TO UKRAINE     REPORT & PICTURES

​

One of the regular contributions to the Voice for many years were the humorous observations about village life and characters by Muriel Rurial, now sadly ended. But with the closing of "Kent Aloominum" Margaret, editor of the Voice has published an excerpt, one that bought tears to my eyes. Muriel Rurial 2007 

We heard the sad news today that Derek Freeman, the author of these humorous reflections on Borough Green, has passed away. I have posted a collection of his short off the wall stories on a dedicated page
