Plans for a new seaside development, including a swimming pool and leisure facilities, were drawn up by Folkestone & Hythe District Council.
The majority of councillors elected in 2023 do not support the scheme and are currently considering options on the future use and treatment of the site.
Leader Cllr Jim Martin has committed to “proper conversations” with the local community about “restoring the biodiversity and future of this much-loved community asset.”
Fencing is in place to ensure ongoing site security and public safety from the contaminated land.
No further activities on the site are currently being progressed. Please read our Princes Parade timeline for a full lowdown on the site’s history.
A survey gathering views from residents on the future use of the 18 acres of council-owned land is open until 16 February 2025.
