ADT monitored alarm systems from £99
There have been a number of burglary's in the area, especially last year, and I thought I would share that ADT do a number of different starter system sets, starting from only £99 and a monthly fee of £21.99 for monitored systems.
They offer peace of mind as well as security for your home and treasured belongings, and act as a great deterrent.
Contact me for details, or see link below.

South Ashford, Kent
South Ashford, Kent
It has occurred to me, that after much searching, that there doesn't seem to be a forum, or blog, for the South Ashford Area, Kent, although it appears there are many for other area's of Ashford. Other area's of Ashford have very up to date and well maintained forums and blogs, such as Kennington.
This is for everyone in the South Ashford area (including Singleton, Kingsnorth, Park Farm etc).
So I thought I'd start one.
Please feel free to share with us any information or services you think those living in the area or surrounding area's may find useful or interesting.

Services etc in the local area
Services etc in the local area
I have been contacting local facilities and services to see who would like to post a message on here, such as the neighbourhood watch local police officer, the council, the community centre etc.
I didn't even know Stanhope has a parish hall? I've learnt something today.
The council are very keen for me to share the recycling information, so I will do that first thing tomorrow, they even have a new app for smart phones in relation to the blue boxes, only 30% of our area properly utilise their blue crates.
If there is anyone else in the local area that's organising an event, or provides a service they'd like to share, please feel free to contact me.

Blue Boxes and Ashford Councils smart phone app
Hi Everyone
I spoke with a gentleman in Environmental at the council, and he made me aware of a new app they have designed for Smartphones all about the blue recycle boxes.
http://www.ashford.gov.uk/environment/waste___recycling_information/recycle_for_ashford.aspx
There is lots of information about what we can and can't put into our blue boxes and the scheme in general on this link:
http://www.recyclenow.com/
Unfortunately only half of the residents with blue boxes use them regularly, hence we have a low recycling figure.

Most of Stanhope residents have blue boxes for recycling paper, cans and glass, the only exception being flats and the new developments. Unfortunately under our present contract, we don’t take plastic or cardboard.
A totally new waste contract is being worked on now, for commencement in April 2013, when we will be working with other local authorities, to supply a service to all of our residents. The aim is to collect the same items across the boroughs which will include plastic and cardboard, also food waste. How it will all come together is a bit early to say, so I don’t know whether our Councillors will agree to wheelie bins or not.
I am hopeful that we will go in the same direction as Swale Council, increasing recycling rates while reducing the amount of rubbish sent for incineration.
