Greenhithe Marina
Good news folks, new plans for a marina at Greenhithe are
currently been drawn up. The Applicant GMMLLP has appointed a new management team
and they seem to be off to a flying start.
CAN YOU HELP
We have received a written request from the developer who is
keen to provide support for local community groups operating within Swanscombe
and Greenhithe. The types of groups/organisations they would like to
contact and help are those that might like an opportunity to visit the marina
at off peak times, say during the day or early evenings.
Obviously this offer is conditional and subject to planning
consent, the developer would appreciate hearing from you directly or via byway of recommendations from our members and readers regarding local community groups, sailing
clubs, organisations, church groups, book clubs, and bingo clubs etc. that you
know of, and who you think may benefit or be in need of somewhere to meet up.

"It seems to me that the marina clubhouse would be an ideal spot for local community groups to come along and enjoy afternoon tea on the river".
Sounds great to you, then please get in touch by
email gmra@greenhithemarina.com
or you can contact the developer directly on info@greenhithemarina.com
We have had a few suggestions in so far:
1.
Cambria Sea Scouts Group,
2.
The Greenhithe Community
Group,
3.
Swanscombe and Greenhithe
Residents Association,
4.
Ingress Park Residents
Association and Neighbourhood Watch
Does anyone know if any of these organisation has their own website or email address?
Finally a big thank you to all of our readers and association
members and guests that attended last week’s committee meeting. Please note the
new project manager has written to us (GMRA) to confirm our funding will remain
in place, which is very much appreciated. However and just to be clear, that
does not mean that all of GMRA members are obliged to support the developer’s plans
to develop a deepwater marina at Greenhithe, in fact we know that not all
members supported previous plans, which is A OK, as all views are welcomed, and
as chair, I will continue to encourage all members to keep those views coming
in as it is important to keep the pressure on the developer’s and both local Councillors and planners, who unfortunately just don’t seem to get it.
