Public Meeting re The Green 4th December 8pm

Obviously whether HTC agrees to release the land at The Green for the new leisure centre has a huge impact on the future of Princes Parade but we are doing our best to work with those trying to protect The Green as there should be no need to sacrifice either open space when a site is available at NQ. There will be a public meeting arranged by those trying to save the green on 4th December 8pm at the British Legion. Come along and support the organisers but be prepared to speak up for PP if necessary.

Councillor Govett’s questions at full Council

Councillor Govett asked some good questions at last night’s full council meeting

Not surprisingly David Monk managed to dodge some of the questions but he did say that Shepway are reviewing their Asset Management Plan, that PP is a significant asset and they need to get best value from it. He also said that public opinion always informs their debate.

Shepway have submitted a planning application for a leisure centre on The Green before Hythe Town Council have had a chance to decide whether to let them use the land!

Last Night’s Cabinet Meeting

Needless to say cabinet voted for the recommendations ie to invite HTC to make The Green available and subject to that agreement to prepare a planning application for The Green. Also to ask KCC for a decision re the school. And taking account of that to prepare a planning application for Princes Parade. Councillor Collier asked how this fitted in with the Local Plan but they ignored his question! Lots of issues not covered including the risks of developing Princes Parade. They reckon there are ways of overcoming the covenant on The Green.
