Newington’s Roman Temple
A 2,000-year-old temple that is part of Newington’s Roman past is being unveiled on Wednesday, August 25.

The temple’s foundations have been reconstructed, using the original
stones, after a last-minute rescue by Newington History Group (NHG)
during the development of Watling Place for housing in 2019.

This amazing historic feature will be on permanent public display on
land off Watling Drive.NHG will give more details of the opening
ceremony closer to the date.
Follow the group on Facebook and Twitter.

Planning
Fernham Homes is planning to develop the land next to
Newington School – to include 25 homes and a permanent
parking and drop off area.
We are waiting for confirmation from Swale Borough Council
that the planning application has been ‘validated’, probably in
the next couple of weeks. At the next full parish council meeting
on 31 August we will arrange a planning committee meeting
to discuss the application in detail and agree our response;
like all parish council meetings this will be open to the public.
We will publicise the date on the parish council website and in September’s ‘Village Voice’ which we
hope to deliver to every home in the village.
