Seafront casino plans1

AN application has been submitted for a casino for Shepway.

The Government's casino advisory panel welcomed proposals from local authorities for regional, large or smaller venues, and on Friday, Shepway District Council put its case for a large casino for the seafront area of Folkestone.

The panel said it would be particularly interested in areas of deprivation, and the district council said the job opportunities and increase in visitors would be of great benefit to the area.

A decision is not expected before the autumn.

💬 Is there already a casino?

This is my website The 'Gerald that I set up in a fury of excitement when I first came to Folkestone in approximately '04. I'd been a frequent visitor for a while before that so I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get now. The site was updated more frequently with a gig calendar + voting for best venues and things, and I know it was a useful reference for those who were thinking of moving to the area. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though only to Hythe) it doesn't get as much attention as it used to. Ironic really as The town is now becoming the exciting place we knew it was about to become. My name is not Gerald BTW, this comes from a fake newspaper in an episode of The Day Today or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, + how there is a local newspaper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are great aren't they? Do get in touch if you have anything to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
