This is a very enjoyable explanation of peppercorn rents.
“Does anyone actually pay the peppercorn? Some people do! Sevenoaks Vine Cricket Club hands over a peppercorn each year to Sevenoaks Town Council for its cricket ground.“

On the back of the recent thread about Peppercorn Rents, I was very kindly asked to write a short article for the @bigissue.com on the subject which they have now put online.
Quite a challenge in squeezing it all in to their word limit!

If Prince Andrew didn't pay rent for 20 years, why wasn't he evicted?
Disgraced royal Prince Andrew won't be evicted from his Royal Lodge despite not paying rent for 22 years. We asked a lawyer to explain.

Charles Frederick Chapman, who promoted chess in Parkhurst Prison on the Isle of Wight and in many places along the South Coast, shouldn't be confused with Sevenoaks and Kent stalwart, estate agent and scoutmaster Charles Chapman.

A very focused Bumble bee we saw during our visit to Ightham Mote in Kent today. The garden was buzzing with late activity as the temperature reached 20°C.

I researched what Ireland would have been called in England in the 14th C. Either Eire or Hibernia. Both derive from the Q-Celtic name, Īweriū, meankng 'fertile soil'.But the Ronanisation has a second meaning in Latin, Winter Land. Which is the same root as the word, 'hibernate'

It's not absurd to imagine that North West Essex could join them. As could Godalming, Sevenoaks, Romsey etc.

Welcome, FWs, to Tribunal Tuesdays.
It may feel like the struggle for a fairer world at work is more distant than ever. You are not alone.
However, we often forget: When we fight, we can WIN. Read on about the victories workers like you took on the boss this week.

🏘️ Monday 15 Sept: Sevenoaks District Council publishes potential development sites for the Local Plan.
After years of delays, we need this done RIGHT:
- Affordable housing
- Proper infrastructure
- Fair distribution across the District
- Real consultation with residents
Your community, your voice!

Local people must shape the future of our communities say Lib Dems
The Conservative failure to produce a viable Sevenoaks Local Plan over many years has left our District vulnerable to inappropriate development and higher government housing targets.
