The use of signage and open space for art and cultural heritage of the Thanet Coast
Discussion led by Malcolm Kirkaldie
Key discussion points/themes:
- Out of date signs
- Internal and external town signage needs work as it is confusing and out of date
- Current signage does not comply with disability accessibility
- An identity is needed for the area - residents are not relating to the space they live in
Action Points:
1. Conduct an audit to identify all out of date signs and where new signage is needed
2. Lobby Thanet District Council, Kent County Council and Kent Highways to make changes to signage
3. Margate Civic Society representative to bring up signage issues with the Property Services Forum

Signage to art and cultural heritage sites is crucial - all the excellent hard work can easily get lost if it is not suitably organised. Thought needs to be put into how to best promote what Margate and Thanet have to offer.
Suggestions on how to do this apart from the obvious improved sign posting? Let’s get the community involved.
