I have started a petition on the Government's new e-petition website. Any petition that collects more than 100,000 signatures could be debated in the House of Commons.

The petition asks the Government to match the money that the RNLI raises, pound for pound. Every pound that the RNLI gets in public donations would be matched by a pound from the Government.

Oh no! They're trying to put beach huts on the Downs again!

• Have a look at what we got in exchange for the loss of the Visitor Information Centre, and be appalled.
• You can take part in the Wildlife Survey of the Downs - just keeping your eyes peeled can earn you a little bit of immortality!
• The West Bay PACT have a new website - pop over for a look.
• If you don't want jumbo jets throughout the night over Herne Bay, sign the online petition against night flights into and out of Manston Airport.

HerneBayMatters.com is about, for, and by Herne Bay. The aim is to:

• celebrate the great, good and quirky things that we have to offer
• highlight the things that need fixing, improving, or stopping
• provide a contact point and discussion forum for anyone with ideas and plans for either of the above.

HerneBayMatters.com is one step short of being just what you want. That step is you telling me what matters to you - you can contact me by email or you can use the Comments on any of the articles.
