Costs quite a bit of money and council involvment to do anything in the 
street. I don't know what Maidstone council are like but Shepway and 
Dover have a lot of red tape for permissions.

Case in point really.

I *really* don't want to be coming across that I don't want to do any of 
this, I'm just saying doing something on this scale requires a vast 
amount of time, money and commitment to get it working. And then it 
needs to be repeated every time, not just once a year. Kent is also a 
large place so this makes the task a whole lot harder. With say GLLUG 
above they only had a small area to deal with, not us!

I don't have the time, money or skills to do this on my own. Previously 
the LUG drew subs but I saw that it will stopping growth and in fact it 
seemed to be on the way down. I've had a number of other ideas but they 
throw up more problems.

If anyone has a *strong* desire to *really* get this kind of thing going 
please jump into the co-ord list and we can discuss it there as there 
will be a lot of boring things others wont want to hear until something 
is actually going to happen.

Kev,
