Review of beach hut terms and conditions

The council has been receiving an increasing number of complaints about noise and anti-social behaviour caused by large groups who are using sublet beach huts.

As a result, we are reviewing the sublet terms and conditions and are proposing to increase the subletting fee. This review only affects privately owned beach huts in West Beach, Herne Bay and Tankerton. It does not apply to the beach huts the council owns and lets out at Whitstable Harbour.

This consultation sought views on the proposals and ended on Monday 3 October. Thank you to those who responded.

Once we have analysed all the responses, they will be reported to councillors who will make a decision on the way forward.
