Tunbridge Wells Borough Council is proposing closing the railway bridge on Maidstone Road to all vehicle traffic except buses, reintroducing the Active Travel system in Commercial Road that closed it to through traffic except for buses and introducing a 20mph speed limit throughout the town. Comments should be sent to the Borough Council, preferably via the consultation page.

The section about Paddock Wood is pages 40-56 (with page 56 (labelled of 48) being about the railway bridge). If you are against these proposals please sign this petition.

There is also a petition on Change.org to Stop the Over-Development of Paddock Wood regarding, housing, flooding etc.  I would urge you to also sign this petition: http://chng.it/tsC6Y6PP

It has been pointed out that while signing a petition is great you need to make your voice heard in a way that TWBC cannot ignore.
