We noticed that the driveway was in need of repair and that there was a problem with access for local groups attending the venue.\u00a0 As a way of saying \u2018thank you\u2019 to local residents we thought this was the ideal opportunity to put something back into the community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"left\">The work will make a massive difference to the 250 boys and girls in the Scout group and access to the hall will also be easier for disabled members and elderly people who attend the many fundraising events that we run throughout the year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"left\">Neil Young, Scout Group Chairman, said: \u201cWe are extremely grateful to SGN for showing such true community spirit. The steep drive that gives access to our hall has been deteriorating for many years and became considerably worse. Now, a new driveway will make access to the hall for people and equipment safe for many years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"left\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.5thdartfordscouts.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/SGN-5th-Dartford-Scouts.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft  wp-image-5354\" title=\"SGN - 5th Dartford Scouts\" src=\"http:\/\/www.5thdartfordscouts.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/SGN-5th-Dartford-Scouts.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"586\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.5thdartfordscouts.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/SGN-5th-Dartford-Scouts.jpg 1366w, http:\/\/www.5thdartfordscouts.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/SGN-5th-Dartford-Scouts-300x122.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.5thdartfordscouts.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/SGN-5th-Dartford-Scouts-1024x419.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 586px) 100vw, 586px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"left\"><strong>ngg_shortcode_0_placeholder<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"left\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, SGN staff relayed around 40 tonnes of\u00a0reclaimed tarmac on the driveway entrance to\u00a0the 5th Dartford Scouts hall to say a big \u2018thank you\u2019 to the local community for their patience during a large gas mains replacement programme in the &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.5thdartfordscouts.org.uk\/?p=5142\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5142","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-scoutnews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.5thdartfordscouts.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5142","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.5thdartfordscouts.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.5thdartfordscouts.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.5thdartfordscouts.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.5thdartfordscouts.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5142"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"http:\/\/www.5thdartfordscouts.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5142\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5145,"href":"http:\/\/www.5thdartfordscouts.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5142\/revisions\/5145"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.5thdartfordscouts.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5142"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.5thdartfordscouts.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5142"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.5thdartfordscouts.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5142"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
