MINUTES of a MEETING of the ASHFORD BOROUGH COUNCIL held in the Council
Chamber, Civic Centre, Tannery Lane, Ashford on the 13TH DECEMBER 2007
Stone Circle Livery
Kent Environmental Business of the Year 2007
Her Worshipful the Mayor was pleased to announce that a local business, Stone Circle Livery, had been awarded with the prestigious Kent Environmental Business of the Year Award 2007. Stone Circle were a local company based in Woodchurch and the UK’s first and only fully organic horse livery yard. The Mayor had last week attended the presentation ceremony at East Malling. Ten businesses had been picked out for doing particularly good environmental work during the year but Stone Circle was picked out as the main winner. She had hoped that they would have been at the Council Meeting this evening to take the congratulations of the Council and show their award but unfortunately this had not been possible. She hoped that there would be something in the local press about this award. All products used at the Livery were organic, the buildings were all brick built and they worked with Kent Wildlife and others to preserve their woodland rides and wildflower meadows. It had been a real leader and was being contacted by businesses throughout the country and abroad. They really were leading the way on sustainability and the Mayor was proud that such a company was based in the Borough.
