Decision details

Sandgate Under Attack – Project Management and Travel, not all of the memory sharers live locally and many will have to be visited more than once.  Other costs for publicity and exhibition/presentation costs. 

Community need – Similar projects run by Pavement Pounders in Margate, Ramsgate, Dover and Folkestone have produced a torrent of memory sharers eager to tell their tale.  There is a very strong desire for older citizens to be heard and taken note of.  The better a community understands where it comes from the better it can plan its future. 

Support – The Sandgate Society, Sandgate Councillors Tim Prater and Gary Fuller have offered generous support as has Jan Holben by donating her collection of local recordings.
