RRA Feasibility Study Opinion Survey

Ramsgate Regeneration Alliance is a non party political forum, chaired by Craig Mackinlay MP, to help people collaborate in the interests of a bright future for Ramsgate. Help us tell the decision makers what you think.

What future do you want for Ramsgate Port and Royal Harbour?

Port Ramsgate has lost millions of pounds in recent years. Last year Thanet District Council (TDC) commissioned independent consultants WSP to conduct a high level feasibility study looking at options for the future of Ramsgate Port and the Royal Harbour.

The study is now published. It will form the basis of a master plan for the future of Ramsgate Port and Royal Harbour for years to come. Success will bring more jobs and prosperity to the area; more of the same won’t.

TDC has opened public consultation on the recommendations of the WSP report. This is your chance to comment on what that plan should be. We will make sure that your voice is heard by the decision makers.

Our opinion survey has 10 questions and space for you to give your own views. It will take you only a few minutes. You do not need to reveal your identity. If you do your personal data will not be shared. You can remain anonymous if you prefer.

Some favour further industrialisation of the port, with some space for residential, retail and leisure development by the Royal Harbour.
Others want a Maritime Village development with a mix of light commercial, leisure, educational, retail, hotel and residential development over the whole port.

Before giving your views in the following opinion survey please acquaint yourself with the issues.

We think that the Maritime Village is the right option and that further industrialisation would only cling to past mistakes, minimising the revenue potential accruing to local taxpayers.

Then answer the following questions. TDC will close the period for public consultation on Friday 18th December 2020 at 5pm, extended from previous date of Friday 2nd October.

It is your future, help us fight for it.
