Raise

Swale Borough Council have raised concerns about Kent County Council (KCC) proposals to change youth services across the borough. 

The council has written to Kent’s Cabinet Member for Communities and Regulatory Services, Cllr Clair Bell, to set out its opposition to cut externally commissioned youth services, as part of proposals to create new family hubs to support children and families. 

The leader of Swale Borough Council and the chair of the council's Environment Committee have raised concerns about the potential borough-wide impact of the closure of the Faversham Household Waste and Recycling Centre (HWRC).

Kent County Council have proposed three options for saving £1.5m from their HWRC’s and every one of those options includes the closure of Faversham HWRC. Two of the three options would also see Sheerness HWRC close for two days a week.

106.9 SFM's very own Gary Croucher and Thomas Felton, from 'The Sunday Soul Show', have presented a cheque to Pilgrim's Hospice for £300.

The money was raised from their latest sell-out 'Boogie Nights' event, showing 'Saturday Night Fever' at a themed night, at the Criterion Theatre, Bluetown in Sheerness, earlier this month.

The boys next event is 'During The War' on Saturday 6th October at The Holiday Inn Coniston Hotel here in Sittingbourne - details to follow, watch this space!
