  • Lydd and Walland Marsh This Area Is Locally Considered the Western End
    Lydd and Walland Marsh This area is locally considered the western end of the Romney Marsh and is composed of six parishes and communities. Lydd Town, Dungeness and Lydd‐on‐Sea Lydd Town is an established community which traditionally included Dungeness and Lydd‐on‐Sea. As a corporate member of the Cinque Ports it acted as a source of wealth through both legal and illegal activities derived from its proximity to the coast, as did the requirement to provide ships for the sovereign’s military excursions. Today it acts as a “District Centre” in Shepway District Council’s core strategy, i.e it provides daily shopping facilities, a medical centre and has various commercial and industrial undertakings that provide for some local employment. To the east of the town is Lydd Airport which is presently subject to planning application for extension of its services. The number 11 bus service operates from Lydd Town to Lydd‐on‐Sea and Dungeness before serving the Marsh villages on its route to Ashford. The parishes of Snargate, Brookland and Brenzett are being organised as a “living” together with All Saints’ Church (Lydd) and St.Peter’s at Greatstone. The parish and town councils of the designated area of Lydd and Walland Marsh undertake some activities together and have made common cause with the higher local government tiers. Should the area be considered as a viable unit then it would allow for two councillors serving a ward of 6,168, a variance of 3.9% variance. 2013 2018 Lydd Town 2665 2864 Lydd‐on‐Sea 1172 1172 Dungeness 943 943 Total (a) 4780 4979 Old Romney 175 175 Brookland 367 395 Brenzett 281 302 Snargate 103 103 Ivychurch 214 214 Total (b) 1140 1189 Grand total 5920 6168 .
