Decision details

Reprint of the Romney Marsh leaflet.  Via the Romney Marsh Forum, it was supported by all town/parish councils on the Marsh that a promotional leaflet on social, cultural and leisure activities on the Marsh would be beneficial for local residents and visitors alike.  A promotional leaflet will help to promote smaller voluntary groups, activities and provide wider publicity.  Visitors to the Romney Marsh are unlikely to stay in one village and by promoting community activities will offer wider support for local community and offer greater choices for those visiting.  The leaflet will provide information to help the residents of Romney Marsh to enjoy an improved quality of life and more people will benefit from greater social, cultural and leisure opportunities.  Promoting the Romney Marsh will attract more visitors that will benefit the town and village communities’ economic growth. 

To provide funding of £250 to the above project.

Reason for decision:

There are 11 parishes on the Romney Marsh and, apart from the website theromneymarsh.net there is no one combined source of information about social, cultural and leisure opportunities on the Marsh for residents, businesses and visitors.  A combined source of information in one leaflet is the opportunity to promote the area as a whole.
