Westgate-on-Sea Town Council Community Asset Transfers

The Community Asset transfers for the War Memorial Recreation Ground on Lymington Road and two shelters on Sea Road (one opposite Palm Court and the second opposite St Mildreds Road have now completed with the transfer of ownership passing to the Town from Thanet District Council. The legal transfer documents were signed in the office.

This is a great opportunity for the community of Westgate-on-Sea to learn and appreciate the benefits of community ownership and shape the future of the sites. We aim to encourage local people of all ages, abilities and interests to come along and get involved. This is an amazing opportunity to strengthen community cohesion and to promote sustainable living and learn new skills.

A spokesperson at Thanet District Council stated "We have worked closely with Westgate Town Council to enable this Community Asset Transfer to take place and are grateful to them for their positive input to ensure the transfer went through as smoothly as possible. We're very much looking forward to seeing how the community come together to shape the future use of the site for years to come."

Of course, with ownership comes responsibility and the Town Council would like to invite volunteers in the community to contact us as we want to undertake some immediate renovation works to enable the changing rooms to be utilised in time for football matches which are planned during the summer.

The Town Council will be carrying out consultation opportunities later in the summer and would urge all residents to get involved; the draft proposals for the site are hoped to enhance the landscape, improve biodiversity and renovate the facilities.
