Key Updates - Extraordinary Council Meeting

Home / About Ramsgate / News / Key Updates - Extraordinary Council Meeting

18 March 2022

An extraordinary meeting had been arranged due to three matters that had deadlines that were out of the town council’s control, that couldn’t wait until the next ordinary meeting.
  • The following statement was agreed “This Council joins with many others in the country in condemning the recent Russian invasion of Ukraine and expresses its solidarity with the people and legitimate government of Ukraine, and expresses its concern for the Ukrainian and Russian residents residing in Ramsgate who are caught up in this situation through no fault of their own. Given the fast-developing and confusing situation in Ukraine, the Council authorises the Clerk in conjunction with the Chair and Deputy Chair to investigate and implement measures such that the Council can best assist Thanet District Council and Kent County Council in helping Ramsgate residents to contribute to the Ukrainian relief effort, and assist those residents that are able to respond to the government's appeal for homeowners to open their homes to provide sanctuary for Ukrainian refugees.”

  • Pie Factory was awarded a grant of £3,000 to provide 60 counselling and creative intervention sessions for young people.

  • Mischievous Theatre CIC was awarded a grant of £2,500 towards a online dramatic, humorous, and factual walking trail around Ramsgate concentrating on the people of the town, their stories, the history, events and major influences in Ramsgate.

  • East Kent Mencap was awarded £3,500 to fund introductory taster sessions to develop a new integrated service in Ramsgate for adults with learning disability and with complex needs.

  • Ramsgate Festival of Sound was awarded £8,000 towards the 5th Ramsgate Festival of Sound from 26th August to 4th September 2022.

  • Addington Street Community Group was awarded £2,000 towards the annual Addington Street Revival Fair on 1st September 2022.

  • People Place Planet CIC was awarded £2,500 towards a ‘Light Up the Coast’ event from 23rd to 25th September 2022.
