- T Matthews - from: United Kingdom We moved to the area specifically for the schools 2 years ago, check them both on Ofsteds website, both have pretty good reports. My son attends Hartley Primary School, he absolutely loves it. All the staff are fantastic and very friendly, the headmistress is doing a great job. I know people who's children attend Langafel and they are equally as happy there. Either way you have nothing to worry about. [21] Sun 6 Jan 2008, 16:40pm

- Lee - from: United Kingdom Hi. Just moved to Hartley from the crime-ridden hell hole that is South London. What an eye opener! Didn't realise nice, friendly, sociable people existed anymore. Nice to get a smile when you pass someone in the street instead of the usual London dirty look. Moan over lol. I was curious about this skate-park business? I'm in Gorsewood Rd and I believe we're right ontop of the wooded area that it'll be built. Is it 100% going ahead? Not being a Victor Meldrew, but we moved here for the peace. Note from webmaster - glad you like Hartley. The proposed skateboard facility is, I understand, a fairly small ramp that will be put on the Woodland Avenue Park (if approved by the Parish Council). The only building plans for the wood I've heard of are proposals for the Parish Council to sell some part (a small part I believe) to the West Kent Housing Association for houses, but nothing is decided [18] Tue 29 May 2007, 17:36pm

- TMatthews - from: Not Specified I have lived inHartley now for nearly 2 years and have only just found out about the skateboard park from your website. Woodland avenue recreation ground is too small for this type of developement, wouldn't it better suited to northfield? Reply from webmaster - thanks for the notice and apologies for not publishing it sooner. Northfield has been suggested before but I understand the youth workers were not in favour on child protection grounds. So both Hartley and New Ash Green are progressing separate sites. Woodlands Avenue is small, but nearer than Northfield to those who would use it in Hartley. The Parish Council should be sending a questionnaire to every household for their opinions and there are boxes to drop replies in the shops (although I have not received a copy yet). And as it is election time you can always question the candidates to see what their views are! In that regard I am one of the candidates for the parish council and I do believe such a facility is needed, although like you I think that the Northfield option should not be ruled out.
