News around Thanet The 6th Ramsgate Royal Harbour Sea Scouts
The 6th Ramsgate Royal Harbour Sea Scouts have been serving the Royal Harbour community since before World War II, for over seventy years. They have provided thousands of young people and adult volunteers opportunities to learn life-long skills that support emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual health, and now they have a new ambitious project for the future. Their project is to renovate the Ice House in Ramsgate's Royal Harbour, which was given to them by community asset transfer in 2019, creating a community centre that will provide opportunities for our Scout group and the wider community. There are few places for community organisations or individuals to rent affordable space in Ramsgate's central harbour ward, and they want to change this. The Ice House has the potential to offer fully accessible community rooms that will accommodate many uses. The group is keen to hear from community groups who may be interested in using the community rooms or anyone who can assist the project through volunteering.

An update from Margate Town Council
The Margate Charter Trustees are now a few months into their campaign to form a Margate Town Council, which we believe would bring positive change to our town. Our vision for Margate is that we would have cleaner streets, better parks, more support for local community groups and businesses as well as local events. A Town Council could achieve all this and more. We are pleased to report that we have collected over 1,500 signatures in support of this, over half the total amount needed. Originally we were only able to collect signatures on an e-petition on our website - Margatetowncouncil.co.uk. You can still sign the petition there, but we are now able to offer a paper petition for people to sign if they prefer. Paper petitions are available via your
