but looks like Shepway want to press ahead regardless of public opinion:

We’ve set up a petition via 38 Degrees. Please sign it and pass it on:

As Shepway have turned down our request for a public meeting we will be holding our own meeting at Hythe Bay School on Tues 14th May 6.30-9.00 pm. Hope to see you there.

I asked Cllr Bliss for a public meeting but surprise surprise he has refused. Took him over a month to compose the reply though. If Shepway really thought their plans were for the good of Hythe they would have the courage to stand up and justify them.

Why not help Transition Hythe with their annual Spring Clean of the town? This Sat 6 April 10 am to 1pm. Meet at the Tin Church. Bags and litter pickers provided but you might want to bring your own gloves.

Confirmation that Shepway wants to develop Prince’s Parade to “Increase useable capital receipts” :

This gives you a idea what it’s like when a new school floods – 8.23 mins into the programme although it’s all rather alarming if you’ve got time to watch the whole programme.

According to today’s Hythe Herald, Liz Carter head of Seabrook School said the school needs a new building but Prince’s Parade was not necessarily the right place.

In its recent newsletter sent to some local residents, Shepway quoted from a letter from the school and this quote seemed to support a school on Prince’s Parade but the head says this  has been taken out of context.

 

If you live or work in Hythe you will shortly be receiving a Neighbourhood Plan leaflet which is your chance to have your say in the future of the whole of Hythe. Make sure you fill it in and return it to yhe council by 28 February.
