An update from Sandgate Parish Council on events, meetings and other general information.
After a busy Bank Holiday weekend, Shepway holiday, leisure and hospitality businesses are now looking for a big boost from the district's summer-to-autumn festivals and events season, which starts this weekend. The calendar includes exciting new events as well as traditional crowd-pulling pageants, carnivals, concerts and family-fun events.
This was a week that put things in perspective. I know I speak for all Liberal Democrats when I say that our thoughts are with the family and friends of Drummer Lee Rigby - the British soldier attacked and killed in Woolwich on Wednesday. And I've made it clear, on the party's behalf, that we are immensely grateful to our police, security services and armed forces, who do an extraordinarily important job.
Since the tragic news emerged that a serving soldier had been murdered in Woolwich, we have been overwhelmed with people spontaneously choosing to show their support for the Armed Forces.
The Parish of Sandgate is now the proud holder of a "Seaside Award' as judged by the 'Keep Britain Tidy' organisation. It is the only beach in Shepway awarded this year.
77 years ago today, the HMT Empire Windrush docked in Essex - marking the beginning of the Windrush generation’s arrival here in the UK.
So we will keep fighting - until we can finally build a society where everyone is free to be who they are.
My message to the UK’s LGBTQ+ community is clear - I support you. I stand with you.
In the face of divisive and destructive politics, it is more important than ever that the Liberal Democrats continue to offer a liberal alternative.
