East Kent Help us improve services Message from the panel We’re exploring the possibilities and benefits of the Mid and East Kent Area Panels joining forces. We recently had our first joint meeting, which went well. Swale has always been a single entity with many common features and it’s good to regularly review how the Area Panels are working. As part of this trial, members from each panel will visit neighbourhoods in each of the areas, as part of an area tour. We’ll keep you updated on progress of the trial. We’ve had two members recently step down from the panel – Jane Hiles and Rebecca O’Neill. We’d like to thank them for their hard work and commitment. Jane will continue to sit on Kent RAMP. We hope to see you at our summer events. As well as being fun for all, we’ll also have staff and leaflets on hand to offer help and advice.
