  • Folkestone Town Council
    FOLKESTONE TOWN COUNCIL ANNUAL REPORT 2019/20 TOWN MAYOR 2019 – 2020 It has been my great honour to serve as Town Mayor of Folkestone this year. It has been a joy to meet and support so many of the wonderful projects, events and charities that make Folkestone so special. Our Museum has gone from strength to strength and has played host to some excellent events including the unveiling of the photograph recreating The Belgian Refugee painting in the Town Hall, where over 200 residents took part showing what a vibrant and welcoming community we are. Folkestone has had some amazing events this year, including Friendship Charter with Mechinager, Nepal; Winner of World Music Town; 25th Royal Gurkha Rifles anniversary attended by Prince Charles; 75th Normandy Veterans Day; Unveiling of the DNA results showing that the skeleton of Aefre, with 98% certainty, is our very own Saint, St Eanswythe; Armed Forces Day with the Red Arrows with over 100,000 attending; Folkestone Trawler Race; Town Hall Christmas Light Switch On with live reindeer and our very own Sandcastle Competition! Due to the Covid-19 restrictions the Town Mayor’s Community Awards have been postponed until later in the year. I would like to thank all the residents who came forward as volunteers during the Covid-19 restrictions and those that self-isolated, to help their friends, neighbours and residents in need - a true community response. I would also like to thank all the key workers who have helped keep us safe and well during this difficult time. My Consort, Bryan, and I have had the pleasure of attending many civic, ceremonial duties and charity fund raising events across the whole of Kent.

  • Botolph's Bridge, Hythe Redoubt, Hythe Ranges West And
    Folkestone and Hythe Birds Tetrad Guide: TR13 G (Botolph’s Bridge, Hythe Redoubt, Hythe Ranges West, and Nickolls Quarry) The tetrad TR13 G contains a number of major local hotspots, with Nickolls Quarry, the Botolph’s Bridge area and part of Hythe Ranges located within its boundaries. As a consequence the tetrad has the richest diversity of breeding birds in the local area, with 71 species having a status of at least possible in the latest BTO Atlas survey. It also had the highest total of species (125) in the winter Atlas survey. Sadly a major housing development is now in progress at the Nickolls Quarry site and much of the best habitat is now being disturbed or lost. Nickolls Quarry has been watched since the late 1940s, though early coverage was patchy, particularly in the 1960s and 1970s. As a working quarry the site has undergone significant changes during this time, expanding from two small pits to a much larger area of open water, some of which has since been backfilled. During 2001 to 2004 a series of shallow pools were created which proved particularly attractive to waders. Nickolls Quarry in 1952 Nickolls Quarry in 1998 Looking roughly northwards across the 'old pit' Looking south-west across the site towards the Hythe Roughs towards Dungeness Although a major housing development is underway on the site it still contains some interesting habitats. The lake is easily the largest area of open water in the local area and so remains one of the best areas for wildfowl, particularly during cold weather, for example in December 2010 when there were peak counts of 170 Wigeon, 107 Coot, 104 Pochard, 100 Teal, 53 Tufted Duck, 34 Gadwall, 18 Mute Swan, 12 Pintail, 10 Bewick’s Swan, 8 Shoveler, singles of Goldeneye and Goosander, and 300 White-fronted Geese flew over.

  • Folkestone and Hythe Birds Tetrad Guide: TR23 H (Mill Point East, Folkestone Harbour and Folkestone Pier)
    Folkestone and Hythe Birds Tetrad Guide: TR23 H (Mill Point East, Folkestone Harbour and Folkestone Pier) The coastline is one of the main features within the tetrad, over half of which is comprised by sea. There is a shingle beach which runs from the west end to Folkestone Pier and at low tide a rocky area (Mill Point) is exposed in the western section. Inland of this, in the western half of the tetrad, is the Lower Leas Coastal Park, which extends into the adjacent square. The Coastal Park, which is also known as ‘Mill Point’, has been regularly watched since 1988 and a total of 172 species have been recorded here (the full list is provided at the end of this guide). The Coastal Park was created in 1784 when a landslip produced a new strip of land between the beach and the revised cliff line. In 1828 the Earl of Radnor built a toll road providing an easy route between the harbour and Sandgate and the toll house survives as a private residence within the tetrad. Looking west along Folkestone Beach towards the Lower Leas Coastal Park Looking south-east along Folkestone Pier Either side of the toll road land was cultivated or grazed until in the 1880s pines and Evergreen (Holm) Oaks were planted, being soon followed by self-seeded sycamores, creating a coastal woodland with a lower canopy of hawthorn and ground cover, designed to appeal to visitors to the emerging resort of Folkestone. Access to this wooded area is provided by the toll road and several paths, including the promenade on the Leas which affords good views into the tree tops, where crests, flycatchers and warblers, including Yellow-browed Warbler on occasion, may be seen.

I am reviewing the situation daily but will only recommend reopening when this can be done in a safe and planned manner. In the meantime the on-line market will continue and thank you so much for your support. 3 ‘LOAF TO GO’ TAKEAWAY FOOD SERVICE LOCATED AT THE HYTHE & SALTWOOD SAILING CLUB 48 MARINE PARADE, HYTHE CT21 6AW OPEN MONDAY – SUNDAY COLLECTION 10AM – 3PM / DELIVERY 10AM – 7PM (£2.50) SALADS • ROASTED MEDITERRANEAN VEGETABLES, FETA, COUSCOUS & MISO DRESSING £7.50 • CHILLI ORANGE CHICKEN, BROCOLLI, BASIL & GREEN GODDESS DRESSING £8.50 • RARE BEEF FILLET, BLUE CHEESE & WALNUT DRESSING £8.50 HEAT AT HOME DISHES • CHICKEN WINGS (X6 PER PORTION) CHOOSE FROM AMERICAN BBQ (SWEET), CAROLINA BBQ (MUSTARD), SMOKEY CHIPOTLE OR ‘HOT HOT HOT’ £8.50 • PULLED CHILLI BRISKET BEANS WITH CREAMY HORSERADISH MASH £8.50 • SPICY THAI GREEN CHICKEN CURRY WITH GREEN BEANS, SUGAR SNAPS & RICE £9.50 • CREAMY BEEF & MUSHROOM STROGANOFF WITH BASMATI RICE £9.50 • MOROCCAN FISH STEW WITH CHICKPEAS & CORIANDER RICE £9.50 • PRAWN, VEGETABLE & RICE STIR FRY (HONEY GARLIC/SMOKEY CHIPOTLE/TERIYAKI) £11.50 TO PLACE YOUR ORDER PLEASE EMAIL [email protected] ORDERS MUST BE PLACED BY 7PM FOR COLLECTION/DELIVERY THE FOLLOWING DAY PLEASE CHECK OUR INTSTAGRAM (@loaf_sandagte)AND FACEBOOK (LOAF to GO) FOR MENU CHANGES AND UPDATES 4 Support local Funding Available The Hythe Institute Fund considers applications for funding from local organisations including schools, scouts and guide groups, sports clubs and the trustees of local halls and facilities; who may require funds for maintenance or improvements.
