Petition to amend the NPPF
Please sign this petition. There is a huge conflict between the assumption in favour of sustainable development in the NPPF ( sustainable here doesn’t just refer to the environment ) and localism. Guess which one usually wins!

Public meeting Tues 14 May
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.
Public Meeting
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.
