This is an initiative to respond to growing instances of anti-social behaviour and criminal damage to local civic amenities with community engagement and proactive work to improve the local environment.

Along with networking to partner associations, we intend this work to contribute to the position of the Association as part of the wider Folkestone community.

To provide funding of £200 to the above project.

Reason for decision:

For over 50 years, Bayle Residents Association has supported the quality of life for

those who live, work and spend time in and around The Bayle. We now have an active membership of over 100. In addition to a programme of events for local people, our members work with the Council and other groups to support community safety, protect our physical and natural environment and to promote positive social cohesion and community engagement.

A recent (September) public meeting of 40 people expressed support for our work & plans.
