OTTERPOOL PARK, TAKE PART IN A COMMUNITY AND BUSINESS WORKSHOP

Come along and take part in a special workshop about Otterpool Park, the proposed new garden town situated seven miles from Folkestone, close to Westenhanger train station and Junction 11 of the M20.

You may have taken part in workshops before or attended one of the drop-in events to find out more about the plans and offer your feedback. This session allows us to share our plans with you, and to explore relevant issues and guiding principles for Otterpool Park, before the Garden Town proposal is submitted as a planning application.

 

There will be two workshops, taking place on Tuesday 19 June 2018. The first will be from 2:30pm to 4:30pm (registration from 2pm) and the second from 6:30pm to 8:30pm (registration from 6pm) at Leas Cliff Hall, The Leas, Folkestone, Kent, CT20 2DZ.

 

The programme and format will be exactly the same for both sessions, as follows:

About Otterpool Park

 

Otterpool Park is a proposed garden town in East Kent, situated seven miles from Folkestone and accessible from Junction 11 of the M20 and Westenhanger train station.

 

In partnership with the local community, Otterpool Park will provide the homes and jobs that will enable future generations to remain in the area in which they were raised, and the necessary facilities and services to support the residents, as well as bringing increased economic benefits to Shepway’s wider communities. Plans for the garden town will include homes, land for employment, shops, schools and medical centres, as well as extensive open spaces and access to the countryside.

 

Otterpool Park is a long-term project, spanning approximately 30 years. With a collaborative approach and careful masterplanning from the outset, Otterpool Park will bring value, sustainability and a high quality of life to local residents.
