Consultation details

We want your views on the council’s vision for how Thanet will look in 20 years time.

After speaking with residents, council members, officers and partners the council has drawn up a draft vision document for Thanet in the year 2030.  This Vision looks at the council’s hopes for the whole area along with specific parts of the District, including Broadstairs, Margate, Ramsgate, Westwood, and Manston.

The draft vision for Thanet envisages a number of key improvements for the area including:

• The renewal of the area’s economy, helped by a busy airport at Manston, a thriving offshore wind-farm industry and the arrival of more creative businesses in Margate.
• Improved education levels and leisure facilities.
• A strong emphasis on tackling crime and anti-social behaviour making Thanet a much safer place.
• Better road and rail links.
• Lower levels of deprivation in Thanet’s poorest neighbourhoods.
