Sandgate Parish Council are looking to undertake a small project in Sandgate Park.

There used to be a toilet block there which had to be demolished some years ago leaving a damaged concrete base.  We are now seeking to reinstate that base (preserving access hatches to services) and surrounding it on three sides with a brick wall of c1100 -1500 mm with a view to making it suitable to locate portable toilets there each summer.

Local contractors are invited to tender for this work.

If you are interested please email our Deputy Clerk and Responsible Finance Officer at clerk@sandgatepc.org.uk in order to arrange a site visit.

On 11^th November, the 100^th anniversary of the cessation of hostilities in WW1 will be commemorated at St Paul’s Church, Sandgate Hill, and the fallen who gave their lives in conflicts past and present will be remembered.

The service will start at 10.00am and then further prayers will take place at the Sandgate War Memorial at the junction of Sandgate High Street and Military Road at 10.45am approximately.

There will be an evening service at 6.45pm at the Sir John Moore Memorial, on Sandgate Esplanade, when the beacon will be lit and the bells of St Paul’s will ring out as part of the nationwide commemorative event.

Holders, and relatives of holders of medals, are encouraged to wear these at both events.

Everyone is welcome to join the service at the Church, War Memorial, Sir John Moore Memorial or all three.
