Safer Internet Day 2026
Today is Safer Internet Day, a national initiative that encourages children, young people, and families to use the online world safely and confidently. The Tunbridge Wells Child Centred Policing Team is working closely with local schools to support pupils in understanding how to stay safe online, make positive choices, and know what to do if something worries them. Throughout the week, we are visiting schools, leading workshops, and offering guidance tailored to the challenges young people are facing online today. We encourage all parents and carers to take a moment to explore trusted online resources that offer practical advice about AI, online behaviour, gaming safety, screen time, and talking to your child about their digital world.

 Kent County Council have secured a £19,000 grant to install 20mph zones across the village we are working with the Highways team to ensure we get the signage in the right place but we hope this scheme will lead to drivers being more considerate through our village. We appreciate this will not solve all the problems but the Council are working hard to raise awareness with a campaign to highlight the importance of cars being parked on the road not on the pavement! and having more speed surveys to see the impact of the 20mph zone. All we ask is you as residents take the lead and drive carefully through our Parish and beyond.
Join the High Weald National Landscape and Wonderdome to experience the constellations whatever the weather! Also learn about why we need to reduce light pollution and what you can do to help to book an hour slot   We are looking forward to seeing you at our Pantomime on 23, 24 or 25 January 2026.
