Declaration_of_results_-_Sandgate_ValleyThe Parish Council tries to maintain Sandgate Park to a high standard for the benefit of residents and visitors. Unfortunately there has been some very anti social behaviour recently involving the pushing over of the portable toilets, which were located for the busy summer period, fire damage to play equipment, and worse.
As a consequence it has been necessary to remove the portable toilets for the time being while a vandal free solution can be found. We urge residents to be vigilant and to report anything to the parish clerks as soon as possible including evidence as to perpetrators. Whilst we have no reason to suspect that this small group of people are dangerous we would not suggest direct confrontation.

Sandgate Parish Council are delighted to support the work of the Folkestone Rainbow Centre by hosting a Food Bin at Sandgate Library.
Any items that the Sandgate community collect will be received by the Rainbow Centre team at their warehouse prior to being sent out to their Distribution Centres, Foodstop and the Winter Shelter.
The Rainbow Centre say ” the increase in the number of people coming to the foodbank distribution centres has been far greater than expected. Since 1 January to 15 March, we redeemed 287 foodbank vouchers, which has fed 600 individuals (a dramatic increase from the same period in 2018 – 91 vouchers redeemed, 357 individuals fed).”
Help feed local people in crisis. Items we would especially appreciate this month are:
Please ensure all food is well within date and unopened as we are not allowed to distribute out of date food. You can drop donations to the red food bin at Sandgate Library during library opening hours. Thank you!

Apr 19 collection bin poster A4-1Due to the change in season and the start of local events being advertised or due to take place, Folkestone and Hythe District Council are aware that many people will be wanting to share the news of their events by erecting signs, banners or notices to highlight “what’s on”, without being aware of the fly-posting rules.
They have produced a guide about advertising or maybe holding events within the District or on Parish land. Folkestone and Hythe District Council want the events to be well attended, as well as either fun, educational or supportive to those attending – but also to ensure organisers are aware of the rules around advertising and avoid dampening the mood receiving warning letters or worse when they are just trying to make it their event a success.
