The Hawkinge Gazette is a ‘hobby’ blog publishing articles predominately from Kent in the UK.
It is committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of visitors to our web site.
We want you to know that The Hawkinge Gazette is not in the business of selling, renting or trading email lists with other companies and businesses for marketing purposes. In fact we don’t have ‘members’ and do not store personal information on the site apart from names of authors to articles and letters which have been published and attributed to the author/photographer by the Hawkinge Gazette.
