Sandgate Parish Council is delighted to announce that it is now the leaseholder for the Granville Parade toilets in Sandgate. As a matter of urgency, the first thing we did was to remove the locks so that the toilets are now free!

Should you find any problems with the facilities, please inform us at the parish council office / Sandgate Library: in person, by phone or by email.

In addition to the toilets, the building has an area that has planning permission to turn it into a commercial kiosk. We are inviting expressions of interest from anyone who may like to take this on and we are open to suggestions as to what facilities and services could be provided from the kiosk. For further information, please contact the parish clerk, Amanda Oates. 

Proposed creation of a small Car Park at Sandgate Recreation Ground and Re-shaping of the Dog Run

Sandgate Parish Council wishes to create a car park for up to 10 / 12 cars so as to create a safer environment for users of the Military Road Recreation Ground.

Whilst it is hoped that the majority of users of the park will walk to it, there are occasions when people will drive there and, by creating a car park, it is hoped to lessen the cars being parked on Military Road.

The car park proposals include the re-shaping of the dog run but there will be no significant reduction in its overall size. The dog run will also be fully re-fenced.

A planning application will shortly be submitted to Shepway District Council and Sandgate Parish Council would like to hear what local people think of the plans.

The drawings are available to view at Sandgate Library and any views can be given to Sandgate Parish Clerk by email or in person at Sandgate Library.
