Ministry of Sewage with Michele Sheldon and Mermaid Beach Status

Thursday 12 March 3-5pm
The Community Room, 19 The Bayle

It is a topic that many are concerned about, but what is being done about the water quality on our beaches?

Michele Sheldon was one of seven Ministers of Sewers during the Triennial working at the Ministry of Sewers at Custom House – an artwork by Cooking Sections – where people gave “sewage stories” to collect evidence regarding water quality and sewage pollution. Her play, ‘Sewage: Definitely Not a Musical’, had a rehearsed reading during Folkestone Live. Michele will explain how she is applying for designated bathing status for Mermaid Beach using the Surfers Against Sewage Bathing Water Designation Community Toolkit.

There will be a presentation at 3.15pm, but feel free to drop in at The Community Room on The Bayle for free refreshments and to learn more and join the conversation at any time between 3 – 5 pm.

Venue: The Community Room, 19 The Bayle, Folkestone, CT20 1SQ
Time: 3-5pm
