Parish Council Elections – Councillors needed!

There are five Parish Councillors for the Civil Parish of Goodnestone (which includes Chillenden, Rowling and surrounding hamlets). Parish Council elections take place on Thursday 4th May and all five posts are up for election.

If you would like to get more involved with the Parish and to represent the community, the role of Parish Councillor could be for you.

Nominations open on Tuesday 21st March and close on Tuesday 4th April.

If you want to understand more about the role, speak to an existing councillor or contact Dover District Council.

Details of the nomination process will be posted on the Dover District Council website elections page.

Road Closure between Goodnestone and Wingham – 2nd to 8th March

The High Street Wingham will be closed near the junction with Staple Road from Thursday 2nd to Wednesday 8th March inclusive. This means there is no access from Goodnestone or Staple to the centre of Wingham.

The alternative route is through Wingham Well or via Buckland Lane and Staple to the Ash bypass. Wingham Well particularly may get very congested. Please plan accordingly.
