Shadoxhurst
Shadoxhurst is a village on the Kent Weald located between the North Downs and Romney Marsh in beautiful wooded countryside and farmland.
We have an interesting 13th century church, some fine buildings and a popular country pub.
You can find Shadoxhurst by car by taking the Woodchurch to Tenterden road from Ashford and by bicycle by taking cycle path 18 from Ashford to Tenterden

I note that the proposed house in front of the Old Post Office in Shadoxhurst has been refused by the Borough Council. I was shown an old postcard of the area by the village pump dated 1920 which showed the village green as being much larger. I find such information really interesting and have started to accumulate some old pictures of Kingsnorth myself.
One of the Borough Council’s policies is to encourage employment in rural villages, and many of you may be wondering what is happening to the garage site proposals. As this development is large for Shadoxhurst the decision will be taken by the Planning Committee (of which I am a member). These days any residential development has to include affordable houses so that youngsters can stay in the villages.
I see the saga of Eurostar continues. Richard Brown, a director, paid the Chief Executive and our MP a visit at the beginning of this week but I gather the outcome was very bland and did not get a result for Ashford, just a promise that they would review the Brussels situation at a later date.
