A quiet sunny visit to Boxley Tunnel on HS1 on a Thursday afternoon.
Boxley info:
The village of Boxley in the Maidstone District of Kent, England lies below the slope of the North Downs approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) north-east of the centre of Maidstone town. The larger civil parish of Boxley has a population of 7,144 (2001 census), increasing to 9,554 at the 2011 Census,[1] and extends to the north and east of the town including the settlements of Boxley itself, Grove Green, most of Weavering Street, Sandling and the southern extremities of Walderslade and Lordswood at the top of Blue Bell Hill.
The M2 and M20 motorways cross the parish to the north and south of the village and the High Speed 1 railway line passes to the south of the village in cuttings and tunnel. Despite being so close to Maidstone and two motorways, the village is surrounded by woodland, and still retains a village feel. The ruins of Boxley Abbey are located here. The parish church is dedicated to St Mary and All Saints. The church and the Abbey Barn are both Grade I listed buildings and the site of the abbey is a scheduled monument. Boxley Abbey House, Parsonage Farm and St Andrew's Chapel in Boxley and Weavering Manor in Weavering Street are all Grade II* listed. The Pilgrims' Way trackway and the North Downs Way pass through the parish. The village was the filming location for the film version of Porridge.
Within the parish are the Museum of Kent Life and Vinters Valley Nature Reserve. A 19th century granary from Boxley was dismantled and re-erected at the museum.
[Wikipedia] Grove Green
Grove Green is a suburban housing development, partially forming a part of Weavering village, near the town of Maidstone in Kent, England. The population of the development is included in the civil parish of Boxley. The estate is also near the village of Bearsted and is convenient for the M20 motorway making its homes keenly sought after by London commuters. For young people, there is a youth group, and Grove Green Scout Group.
The name 'Grove Green' can be traced back to at least the early 20th century, as seen in ordnance survey maps of the time. This is due to the way the area was previously divided up. The area now covered in housing once formed part of a vast country estate, the remains of the manor house can be found at the nearby Vinters Valley Nature reserve. Grove Green was built upon the market farm, in the Eastern part of the estate. Similarly, nearby Vinters Park housing estate was built upon the former hop and wheat fields to the west. A remaining 90 acres (360,000 m2) of former estate land is maintained by the Vinters Valley Nature Reserve.
The Maidstone Studios are also nearby which has resulted in the area being used for many television programs including Cats Eyes, Tittybangbang, What's Up Doc and others.
The development includes a primary school, supermarket, community centre, doctors surgery and other small shops, as well as two pubs. The Minor Centre shopping area is within Grove Green.
In 2006, Abbey New Homes plc submitted a planning application for five new dwellings to be built upon the land between Grovewood Drive (North) and Grovewood Drive (South). The council rejected this, resulting in a metal 'prison fence' being erected around the land owned by the developer. The reasoning for the rejection of the application was said by the council to be wanting an option to be able to open up the road, and join the two ends of Grovewood drive, to ease the growing traffic problems of the development. In 2007, the application was re-submitted, with minor modifications. The council reluctantly gave permission for the development to go ahead. Construction started in mid-2007, and was completed in April 2008.
The community hall is for a number of local social events including shin-gi-tai karate club who took over the original Grove Green Karate Club in 2003. This club has been operating in Grove green for well over 20 years and still enjoys the support of many local students.

What goes on in Maidstone presentation
A recording of my presentation on corruption in Maidstone, held on 18 June 2016. This shows some of the ways that taxpayers money is being misused all over the UK eg children avoidably in care and adopted, medical accident cover-ups, miscarriages of justice, fake bankruptcies, fake repossessions, politically biased police and election rigging. What goes on in Maidstone is going on everywhere. Council tax could come down. Hopefully I will succeed in the Kent County Council Elections tomorrow and can then start to work on KCC's 2 biggest budgets ie Children's Services & Adult Social Care. If not I will submit my nomination forms to stand in the parliamentary elections on an anti-corruption platform - putting the rights of children, patients/the NHS and avoidable immigration via Kent as priorities. Maidstone Police put the interests of big business and the Upper Classes first ie they misuse council tax to ensure that the rich get richer at the expense of the poorest in our society because they refuse to pursue arrests of freemasons.
