Decision details

Sandgate under Attack - Project Management, Travel, (not all of our memory sharers will live locally, and many will have to be visited more than once).Publicity and exhibition/presentation costs.

To provide funding of £375 to the above project.

Reason for decision:

Community need: Similar projects run by us 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 our older citizens to be heard and taken note of. We do well to listen, 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.
