Thanet District Council has been awarded £20million of government funding for Ramsgate, through the Plan for Neighbourhoods programme. The objective of this grant is to support investment in Ramsgate over a ten year period, from 2026 to 2036.

TDC promise the funding will be used to help deal with some of the issues that matter most to local people and, to that end, local people are now invited to share their thoughts on living in Ramsgate through an online survey. The survey is open until Monday 8 September 2025 and you can click HERE to read more and to submit your views..

A Neighbourhood Board has been set up to develop a ten-year vision and regeneration plan for Ramsgate. The Board includes representatives from the Ramsgate community, local businesses, sports and cultural organisations, the not-for-profit sector, and public sector agencies, alongside the MP and relevant representatives from the district, town and county councils. The Ramsgate Society has been invited to join the Neighbourhood Board to represent the Heritage Sector in Ramsgate and John Walker, Chair of the Ramsgate Society has accepted this invitation.

Comment from Brian Horton, Interim Chair Ramsgate Neighbourhood Board:

‘’We are looking forward to hearing from the people of Ramsgate – it is important that everyone has a chance to let us know their views. That way, the Ramsgate Neighbourhood Board will be able to develop a vision and plan for the £20m that reflects what local people think is needed to make Ramsgate the best place for their future. £20m sounds like a lot of money, but we need to make sure the investment is used wisely over the next ten years.”
