 Shocking new statistics were published last month about the number of cars using Sevenoaks’ roads: 24,000 vehicles are passing through Bat and Ball traffic lights every day, 10,000 through the High Street and 13,600 through Seal. Have our roads reached breaking point?
Beginning a brand new three-part series this month, John Morrison explores the future of transport in Sevenoaks, starting on page 20. As always, we’d love to hear your thoughts and reaction. Are you a pedestrian, a cyclist, a motorist, a rail commuter or a bus traveller? Do you let your children cycle on our local roads, or is it too dangerous? Do you drive a gas-guzzling 4x4 or an eco-friendly vehicle? Do you lie awake at night worrying about the polar bears in the Arctic, or is your carbon footprint the last thing on your mind? Drop us an email or go online to have your say.
Elsewhere this month, we’ve devoted four pages to the Sevenoaks Literary Celebration, now a cultural fixture in the town. We meet best-selling novelist Victoria Hislop, who kicks things off on September 26 followed by appearances from a host of other top names. We also take a look back at famous writers who have a connection with Sevenoaks on page 13.
There’s a five page eduction and university special from page 14, including a guide to local independent schools with advice on making the right choice. And with thousands of people leaving Sevenoaks this month for a life of lectures, booze and ‘new experiences’, we’ve put together a handy guide to surviving the first few weeks at uni on page 18.
Don’t forget, you can now send us videos, pictures and texts from your mobile. We’ll be featuring the best submissions each month online and in the magazine. Got some interesting and exciting Sevenoaks-related material? Type 07757 596144 and hit send.
