Tenterden Regeneration Survey 2

1. Tenterden Regeneration Survey 2

Background

Having heard from almost 1000 Tenterden residents and dozens of stakeholder groups we have built up a description of what the community would like to do with the income from the sale of land and future S106 from the Tent 1 housing development. 

Infrastructure

We have received lots of concerns and suggestions about infrastructure issues like parking, footpaths and cycle paths. These are all being passed to the Borough and County Councils because they do not fall under the Town Council's remit. 

Extras that we have included

We have included other projects like St Mildred's Church and the Leisure Centre, which although not controlled by the Town Council definitely affect and influence the other projects that we are considering. 

The Regeneration Project

This consultation period was always meant to determine the community's 'long term plan', something that would guide the Town Council and give direction for the future. It may not all be achievable immediately with the current money available, but having a goal means we can prioritise and schedule projects. 

The Survey

This survey is designed to do just that. We want to check that this is what the community want and find out which things you prioritise.
