Events Cancelled

Published: 19 March 2020

Events due to have been held on land owned by New Romney Town Council up to and including 31 July 2020 have been cancelled.

These cancellations are a necessary measure in line with the government advice to try and limit the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19). The decision will be reviewed in June for events in August onwards.

Cllr Paul Thomas, Chairman of New Romney Town Council, said: “This decision is very regrettable but the welfare of local residents is our top priority. We are all in this together and we must do what we can to curb the spread of this virus.

“There may be events planned in New Romney on land not owned by the Town Council. If so, I would strongly urge organisers to consider the government advice about social distancing and give very careful thought as to whether their event should go ahead.”

Current government advice recommends social distancing and encourages those who can work from home to do so.
