AGAR 2024-2025 – Rights of Inspection and Statement of Accounts

Hildenborough Parish Council can confirm

  • That the review has been concluded and that the statement of accounts has been published;
  • of the rights of inspection conferred on local government electors by section 25 of the Local
    Audit and Accountability Act 2014; and
  • the address at which, and the hours during which, those rights may be exercised.

 

Accessibility Regulations
We are aware that the Accounts and Audit Regulations requirement for a physical ‘wet ink’ signature
on the original AGAR, does not allow parish council’s to fully comply with the Accessibility
Regulations. The National Audit Office are aware that the two pieces of legislation are not compatible,
therefore smaller authorities are advised to make it clear on their website that the document is a scan
and will not be fully compliant with the Accessibility Regulations.

HAVE YOUR SAY – Installation of Double Yellow Lines, London Road, Hildenborough

Following concerns raised by residents, Hildenborough Parish Council and Kent County Council’s (KCC) Highway Improvements Team have been reviewing on-street parking in Hildenborough and we have ascertained a section of road on the B245 (London Road) opposite the Harvest Garage where parking restrictions could be installed to discourage nuisance parking and facilitate safe pedestrian passage.
Ahead of any statutory consultation, we are canvasing local opinion and we have provided this feedback questionnaire for you to tell us your views.

If there is no clear consensus, or a strong view that parking restrictions should not be implemented, then these proposals may be abandoned. Either way, the outcome of this pre-consultation engagement will be discussed in detail by Hildenborough Parish Council and the feedback will be taken into account as part of any decision-making process.

We are proposing to install double yellow lines on a section of the B245, Hildenborough, as shown on the map.

Please download the survey, complete the questionnaire and email your completed survey to the Parish Clerk at:  .  If you prefer to print off a copy to complete, please drop your completed survey into the mailbox installed on the side of the pavilion in Riding Lane Recreation Ground or post them to Hildenborough Parish Council, Pavilion and Recreation Ground, Riding Lane, Hildenborough, Kent TN11 9HY.

Please e-mail the Parish Clerk or call 07818 329 if you require a copy of the survey sent to you in the post.

Thank you for taking part.
