SAFE CROSSINGS NEEDED FOR EDEN MANOR RESIDENTIAL HOME AND EDENBRIDGE MEDICAL CENTRE

A petition is now live calling on Kent County Council to provide safe pedestrian crossing solutions near Eden Manor Residential Home and Edenbridge Medical Centre.

These are existing safety concerns affecting residents, patients, care home visitors, staff, families, older people, disabled residents, bus users and people walking to the Medical Centre.

This should not be left waiting on possible future development funding. Edenbridge needs clear answers and practical solutions now.

Please sign here:

https://democracy.kent.gov.uk/mgEPetitionDisplay.aspx?id=571

You can sign if you live in Edenbridge or the surrounding area, work in Edenbridge, or use local services in Edenbridge or have relatives living at Edenbridge Manor Residential Home.

Deadline: 02 September

Please share with local friends, family, neighbours and colleagues.

Did you watch Dirty Business? I can't believe how much water companies have gotten away with. They're putting profit before public health - it’s a scandal and the Government MUST take action!

BRIDGES MARKET DAY - SATURDAY 2ND MAY

We’re delighted to be back at Bridges Café this Saturday for their brilliant Market Day.

There’ll be a fantastic mix of stalls – from plants and homemade cakes to jewellery and local art – plus everything on the café menu, with extended opening from 10am–2pm.

Our water quality exhibition is still on display, and we’ll be there too, between 10am and 12pm so do come and say hello if you fancy a chat about the river, our work, or how you can get involved.
It’s a great way to support Bridges and spend a relaxed Saturday morning – we hope to see you there.

What a fantastic Day of Action — thank you to everyone who came along, got involved and helped make it such a positive community event.

It was wonderful to see so many people supporting our rivers, countryside and green spaces, and we were especially encouraged by those who expressed an interest in volunteering for future river projects. If that was you, we would love to hear from you at [email protected].

If you are not yet a member of NEDRA, please do join us so we can keep you informed and involved in future campaigns, events and local projects.

Together, our community has a real voice – thank you
