Sandgate Parish Parking Poll - Details Confirmed

Following the request for a Parish Poll, it's been confirmed that Sandgate will be holding a Parish Poll on Shepway Council's parking strategy proposals on Thursday 8th December.

The Parish Poll will be held in Sandgate on Thursday 8th December about the parking strategy proposals being put forward by Shepway District Council.

Polling stations will be open from 4pm-9pm only on Thursday 8th December. There will be no polling cards issued or postal votes for the Parish Poll - you need to vote in person.

The polling stations are:

• Chichester Hall on Sandgate High Street for Sandgate Village
• St George's Church Hall on Audley Road for Sandgate Valley
• Seabrook Church for electors off Hospital Hill and Sandgate Esplanade as far North as Wellington Place. This is a new polling station for those electors, who will be notified by post of the new polling place by Shepway District Council before the poll

There will be two questions on the poll:

• Do you support Shepway District Council's parking proposals to introduce parking charges for Folkestone and the rest of Shepway?
• Do you agree that if the proposed Shepway District Council parking strategy is imposed on the residents of Folkestone that as a minimum Shepway District Council make available one free parking permit per residence and the first hour of a motorist's parking session at any on-street pay and display spaces is free?

The count for the poll will take place after 9pm on Thursday 8th December at Shepway District Council's offices.
