Historic windmills face money millstone

Available for over a year

The Garden Of England is well known for its greenery, it's wonderful coastline and it's wine production... but the county is also home to many historical windmills. However, financial challenges may force Kent County Council to sell off the eight windmills it owns as the cost of maintaining them over the next six years could reach more than £800,000. The proposals have left community groups and volunteers from the community, looking after mills, worried about the future. Ray Corbin who helps maintain the Herne Mill near Herne Bay spoke to Anna Cookson. Photo Credit: Herne Mill: Google
