Auction of Old Library site
Bearsted Parish Council were not informed and has not been consulted about the proposed sale of the Old Library site on Bearsted Green.
As the relocation of the library to Bearsted train station was only supposed to be a temporary measure, whilst refurbishment of the Old Library took place, we are seeking answers from Kent County Council as to what consultations took place regarding the permanent closure of this site, its sale, as well as the future of Bearsted Library.
We have written to Kent County Council requesting clarification and together with our borough councillors are seeking a delay to the auction of this site whilst investigations or the necessary consultations take place.
Bearsted Market on The Green
Bearsted Parish Council are thrilled to announce that Bearsted Market on the Green will be returning every first Sunday from 6th March 2022.
Local volunteer Vanessa Flanagan has taken on the task of organising this much-loved event and is excited about its return to the village green.
You can expect to see some previous favourite stallholders selling breads, pastries, meats, cheese, and game along with a wide range of artisan crafts. There will also be hot drinks and food available to eat and so we welcome everyone to come down and join us.
Vanessa has identified that during the past 18 months there has been a rise in local distilleries which she is looking to bring to Market on the Green.
Bearsted Parish Council are excited for the Market as it has always been a great place for residents to meet for a catch-up with friends and pick up some quality local products.
The Market will open at 9.30am and close at 1.30pm.
If you are interested in taking a stall please contact Vanessa or find further details on Facebook
Office Closed today from 10:30am
The Parish office will close today at 10.30 until Monday the 17th January, when normal office hours will resume. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.
