The March around Hythe on Saturday 6 August 2016 was organized by the Otterpool Newtown Campaign Coalition to draw attention of residents of Shepway to the life changing developments planned by the Council for this area.
– “Campaign against life-changing developments in Shepway
The issues which have led so many Shepway residents to organise this demonstration March are serious and a growing number frustrated by not being listened to by the majority of Councillors have had enough.
Far too many people have absolutely no idea of the size and grim nature of the threats to so many parts of the District so the walk was a loud public fuss to wake everyone up to what is being planned by Shepway District Council.
Placards, drums, bells and whistles brought a noisy, effective, demonstration to the Streets pf Hythe.
Shoppers were invited to join the growing demand for the return of democracy in Shepway.
Walkers Assembled at 10:30 am in Douglas Avenue (between the Waitrose car park exit on the A259 and the barrier which closes Hythe High Street between 11 and 3). The route passed up the High Street in a Westerly direction to Red Lion Square where it turned left and back along the A259 to Douglas Avenue then on up the High Street again to finish in the Square at the rear of Aldi.

“Why haven’t we been consulted?”
“Why is it all happening in our area?”
“What about the traffic and pollution?”
These are just some of the questions that Shepway residents are asking.
