DOC was given an excellent opportunity to highlight local concerns and raise various issues  concerning the Romney Marsh with Senior Members of Natural England during a meeting held in London on the 12 January 2010. The meeting was attended by numerous coastal groups from all over the country and had been arranged through NVCC ( National Voice for Coastal Communities) of which DOC is a member . Following these initial , but very productive discussions it has been arranged that a further meeting with NE will take place in the near future to continue this newly established dialogue.
