Yesterday, Kennington Community Council hosted its final Coffee & Chat morning of 2025. These popular sessions take place on the third Monday of each month and provide a welcoming opportunity for residents to come together in a relaxed and friendly setting. We look forward to welcoming many of you back when the sessions resume in 2026.
The morning was well attended and it was lovely to see members of the community enjoying free tea and coffee, along with mince pies and cake. To mark the end of the year, our Council Chairman kindly brought along a bottle of champagne so that everyone could raise a glass to 2025 and celebrate another successful year of community events.
There was a wonderful festive atmosphere throughout the morning. A fun Christmas quiz and a lively game of Pass the Parcel helped to bring plenty of laughter and seasonal cheer, making the event feel especially warm and welcoming.
We were also pleased to welcome Peter New, our Neighbourhood Watch Coordinator, who attended to speak with local residents about the important work he is doing within the community. His visit gave attendees the opportunity to learn more about how Neighbourhood Watch helps residents look out for one another and contributes to keeping our area safe.
Joining Neighbourhood Watch is completely free and is a simple but effective way to stay informed and connected within the community. Anyone interested in getting involved is encouraged to contact Peter directly at peternew1@aol.com
As always, residents are reminded to remain vigilant. If you witness a crime, Kent Police can be contacted online. In an emergency, particularly in rural areas, always call 999. For non-urgent matters or to pass on information, please call 101 or use the online reporting service. Alternatively, Crimestoppers is available on 0800 555 111 and allows information to be shared anonymously and confidentially.
Kennington Community Council would like to thank everyone who attended the Coffee & Chat sessions throughout the year. Let us continue to work together to keep our community safe, and we wish all residents a happy, peaceful and safe Christmas.
