Here she is! Good and bad news: The good news: We’ve put funding bids in that are really promising and have gathered support from Folkestone Town Council, Folkestone & Hythe District Council, Damian Collins, and our friends and community. Bad news:

The asset of community value moratorium ends tomorrow on September 9th - so that’s the last day we can put in a community offer. The auction is then happening on the 22nd - before the funding decisions will come through. The owner won’t wait, so we’re maybe going to miss out by a matter of weeks. We’re so close but time is not on our side…
