A Strong Voice for Romney Marsh

  • Successfully prevented the construction of 28 houses on the Greatstone car park, preserving vital community space.

  • Spearheaded the development of new beach huts and toilet blocks, enhancing local amenities and tourism.

  • Secured over £7 million in investment for Romney Marsh during his tenure in the previous administration’s cabinet, more than any councillor before him.

  • Established the RM Business Hub and allocated £3 million in High Street Grants to protect and revitalise local businesses.

A Manifesto for Action

David Wimble’s priorities for Romney Marsh are clear, actionable, and centred on the needs of the community:

1. Protecting Romney Marsh from Unsustainable Development

The Marsh is a unique and cherished landscape that must be safeguarded against excessive and ill-planned development. David is committed to:

Opposing large-scale housing projects that lack the necessary infrastructure to support them.

Ensuring that any new developments respect the character of the Marsh and benefit the local community.

2. Opposing Solar Farms – Promoting Nuclear Energy

While renewable energy is crucial, the current trend of vast solar farms covering the Marsh’s green spaces is not the answer. David will:

Work to halt the expansion of large-scale solar farms that threaten the rural nature of the area.

Advocate for increased investment in nuclear energy as a more reliable and effective solution for the UK’s energy needs.

3. Establishing an Independent Local Bus Service

Public transport is the backbone of any thriving community. David’s plan includes:

Introducing an independent, locally managed bus service to improve connectivity across Romney Marsh.

Ensuring affordable and reliable transport options for residents, especially those in rural areas.

4. Boosting Local Business and Employment

The prosperity of Romney Marsh depends on a strong local economy. David will continue to:

Attract further investment to the region, supporting small businesses and entrepreneurs.

Push for additional funding for high street regeneration and economic development projects.
