Thanet

Post by Sockettrousers »

Since the promonade was closed I've been trying to speak to Thanet council about MH parking. They just sent me their new parking strategy

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xq0 ... ew?tab=t.0

Which includes:
> ACTION 15: Consider allowing motorhome parking overnight in suitable car parks that have the appropriate facilities in place to encourage longer stays in Thanet.

How can I help them with this? Any advice?

We have information and reports in our website library.
I would start by sending our new executive summary and revenue report from Fleetwood, (attached).

Try to get a zoom meeting and someone from leadership will join you.

Our recent press release was published in the journal that goes out to all councils, so its a good time to follow up.
If you can get them to engage with CAMpRA we have an opportunity.

Thanks. I'll try and get a meeting. I'll also try and get Ashford interested whist I have the docs.

Is there a known good opening cold email tactic?

Introduce the concept, and request a meeting to discuss.
Do not send attachments as they may get blocked by spam filters, request a contact email where you can send the latest information.

Try ti include some figures like example Fleetwood £26,000 in 2022 from £5 overnight charge, worth estimated £260,000 spend in local businesses
