I’m Tony Hills the District Councillor for the Romney Marsh ward of Folkestone & Hythe District Council.
I have a passion for the Romney Marsh, after spending many happy summers as a child at Greatstone at my grandmother’s bungalow. Since as a youngster cycling up to Dungeness to go beach fishing, watching the fishing boats and their special way of life in a unique environment.
I started my tackle shop 'Seagull Fishing Tackle' twenty odd years ago at Greatstone; I have a ‘blog’ site committed to promoting Dungeness around the world, as the home of modern beach casting. Believing in our communities, I have served on our marsh Town Councils for the last twenty years.
From my early days I developed a desire to defend the marsh from the sea. Working for its protection to adapt to the challenge of a changing climate. I have worked with the EA on several defence projects to improve the Marsh Sea defences; Serving as the KCC councillor for Romney Marsh, and as Chairman of Kent Flood Risk Management Committee.
