Plea from the work force
  • The site has been operational for the US Army for
    the past 40years. In that time the maintenance of
    the facilities and the new works carried out have
    been second to none and the employment
    opportunities have helped to keep Hythe as the
    superb little town it is today and be an added
    attraction for visitors to the forest
  • Waterside needs commercial facilities, dont
    waste what is readily available..a housing
    estate will not support the town centre shops!
