The nearest major towns are Ashford 15 miles to the north and Folkestone 15 miles to the north east.

Folkestone also connects the M20 and has the Channel Tunnel Terminal.
In 2018, Folkestone & Hythe District Council and the Nuclear De-commissioning Authority (NDA) co-funded a masterplan to bring forward the remaining six hectares of council-owned employment land at Mountfield Road Industrial Estate, New Romney with the aim of creating new jobs and diversifying the local economy to mitigate the loss of some 1000 jobs from the current and proposed closure of the Dungeness Power Stations. The masterplan provided options for bringing forward the land, including the development of a business hub to initiate the scheme. Since then, stage 1 of the project, comprising the construction of the Romney Marsh Business Hub, has commenced following the Council entering into a joint venture with EKSDC to bring this forward with completion in early 2022.
Following the award of a £3.5 million Getting Building Fund grant in summer 2020, stage 2 of the development has progressed. The construction of a new roadway and provision of infrastructure on the remaining 10.7 acres of land has recently commenced and has a scheduled completion by April 2024.
The government announced a £900 million Getting Building Fund to deliver jobs, skills and infrastructure across the country with £3.5 million granted for this project. This investment is being targeted in areas facing the biggest economic challenges as a result of the pandemic. It is supporting the delivery of shovel-ready infrastructure projects, agreed with mayors and Local Enterprise Partnerships to boost economic growth, and fuel local recovery and jobs with 480 jobs to be created over the next 10 years.

Broadband availability and predicted speed
Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
