About

Dane Valley is a residential ward in the eastern part of Margate, within the district of Thanet. The area is characterised by a mix of housing, primarily interwar and post-war semis and terraces, set along a network of quiet, tree-lined streets. The terrain slopes gently, with some roads offering distant views over the town. Local shopping needs are served by a small parade of shops along Northdown Road, providing essential services to the community.

The ward is defined by its large central green space, Dane Park, a Victorian-era park with formal gardens, tennis courts, and a children's play area. To the north, the land falls away into the grassy, wooded gully of the Dane Valley itself, a natural chalk stream course that creates a distinct rural corridor within the urban setting. This combination of orderly residential streets and accessible, varied green spaces shapes the area's practical character.
