A few snippets from the Cranbrook Herald for April 2014:

GP surgery COULD (not would) be open by “the end of the year”

There will be a meeting for “sponsors” of the new education campus

The local PCSO has been set a target of 350 “likes” on his Facebook page

Concerns raised over SkyPark bus service

Children at the Primary School have opened a sweet shop which has generated more than £200 in profit

When asked what they would like to see in Cranbrook, a selection of three residents said:

“I would like to see the park up and running soon as the children really have nowhere they can go and play. I would also like to see the shops built as I don’t drive and it is difficult for me to get my essential shopping every week”.

“I would like to see a few shops and a few takeaways. As far as my children are concerned … they can’t wait for the playground to be open. I also think a skatepark would be a really good idea so that he could play with his scooter somewhere instead of the pavements.”

“As a dog owner it would be nice to have some bins … a pub would be nice … as would a cashpoint and a local shop”.
