1.   The detrimental role of Sugar to Health - Health Prevention/Obesity.

In response to your recent request via the VAM Newsletter, I wonder if you might consider the following topic for consideration by the Overview and Scrutiny Committee:

“In the light of (a) the recent ‘State of Nature’ report http://www.rspb.org.uk/ourwork/science/stateofnature/index.aspx?sitelink=stateofnature&gclid=CJ2gy8iQrrcCFdHMtAodHXgA7w ); and (b) of the housing sites identified in the Borough Council’s Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment, what will be the likely impact of the Council’s policies on the diversity and abundance of wildlife in the Maidstone area?”

The Labour party has produced a policy review on the reform of the private rented housing sector.

Private rented housing: improving standards for all sets out a range of measures designed to reform the private rented housing sector, including a national register of private landlords,  a new national private rented property standard and greater powers for local authorities in relation to corrupt and criminal  landlords.

I would like to suggest Dementia Care Services covering both services for the person with dementia and services for the carers.  We receive numerous calls from worried carers after receiving a diagnosis of a dementing illness, these concerns range from help for the person, respite, benefits, finances and community support for both.
