There is a public access defibrillator sited at the Littlebourne War Memorial Hall/Recreation ground. This is available 24/7 it is owned and maintained by the Parish Council. The Defib is sited in a wall mounted heated cabinet to the rear of the hall/on the patio area.
If you do need to use the Defib please let the Clerk know afterwards so repacement pads can be fitted in the unit for the next use. clerk@littlebournepc.org
An application has now been submitted to Canterbury City Council by Gladman for 300 homes on The Hill, Littlebourne under application CA/23/00484 which can be accessed using the below link:
The Parish Council are working on a response to this application and would encourage residents to submit their own objections to the application via the City Council website. Further details are avaliable in the below downlaod leafet on things to consider in your repsonse to CCC. The deadline for comments is 12th May.
There will be no election of the Parish Council, all nine vacancies have been filled and those nominated are duly elected as councillors for the next four year term.
Further to the information from our Chair of the Parish Council, in the recent LPC News, members of the Parish Council have attended a meeting for local parishes and Canterbury City Council Planning.
We were told that the plan up to 2045 is to add 350 houses to Littlebourne and the boundry of the village has been stretched to include the land on the south of The Hill, and behind the doctor’s surgery, to allow this.
Your views are important and valuable and we would urge you to go online and have your say. Be in no doubt that your thoughts on the smaller planning application last year were essential to the plan being rejected.
TALK TO US
Why not come to meet the Parish Council on Monday 5 December at 7pm, in the Lounge of the Village Hall, for a Q&A session about the future of Littlebourne. We would be delighted to hear your thoughts and try to answer any questions you have.

Dog Fouling seems to be on the increase in the village. Most dog owners are responsible and clean up after their dogs however there seems to be small minority that just leave it on the pavements and the Recreation ground. This then ends up on shoes and pushchair wheels and is very unpleaesant, never mind a health hazard.
It is very hard to catch people not clearing up after their dog, but if you do see someone you can report them through the City Councils website.
