  thanetonline — Authority: 474
  The picture above is of a bulge in the concrete block work of the cliff façade above the Pleasurama site, the crack has appeared recently i.e. since it was painted. I would ask you to consider the pressure of the weight of the chalk behind needed to crack concrete blocks. You can also see clearly where the whole of ...

  thanetonline — Authority: 474
  Well actually not quite true as when the council had used up the seven hundred thousand grand of your money they borrowed three hundred grand on your behalf. Click on the link to see what I mean http://www.michaelsbookshop.com/foi/id9.htm I am now asking them how much money they have spent on other aspects of the ...

• Royal Sands Development Ramsgate another years delay.

  
  thanetonline — Authority: 474
  I have now been told officially by the council that work on the construction of the development won’t start until 2011. This means once again I will be lobbying the councillors for temporary leisure and parking use of the site next summer. I have had the same excuse that I had last year, that was the that the ...

• Moving Swiftly On...

  
  EASTCLIFF SAMANTHA — Authority: 472
  Why doesnt it surprise me that the proprietor of Margates most fatuous (Geddit?!!!?!) blog appears to have got the address of his Lib Dem candidate in the Dane Valley by-election wrong ? Youll recall that this vote has been precipitated by the enforced resignation of Tory councillor Panama Steve Broadhurst, who spent ...

• Who else wants to live in fear?

  
  The Thanet Star — Authority: 117
  When enforcing the law of the land becomes a war on the innocent something must be done. Locally we have a history of significant crimes (of which a large number are fires ) going unsolved but of minor offences being prosecuted as if they were international crimes. We see councils using anti terror laws to push ...

• Royal Sands development Ramsgate and the freedom of information act.

  
  thanetonline — Authority: 474
  Due to my continued exasperation, mostly with getting the council and the developer to tell us in Ramsgate what exactly is going on, I put in some freedom of information requests and an official complaint a while ago. Now it may come as a bit of a surprise to some people but this is the first time I have made freedom ...

• Revamping the ellection battle.

  
  The Thanet Star — Authority: 117
  Thinking of the Ellections in Dane Valley (bits of Dane Park and Millmead in old money) it is clear that both the Conservatives and Labour have set themselves up with such epic lack of a snow-balls-chance-in-hell that I figure they might need some help. What follows is approximately ten thousand times better ...

• A few more thoughts on the Dane Valley By-Election

  
  The Thanet Star — Authority: 117
  Following up on Tonys post here are a few more thoughts on the Dane valley By-Election. Both main parties are going to be hard pressed to win much of the vote and should be working flat out to see off any chance of some fringe nutters (like the BNP) from grabbing a seat. Sadly this does not seem to be the case. ...

  thanetonline — Authority: 474
  Just a quick Monday morning update on the state of the arches that support the access road to the new development. These are the ones that the council assure me can support a road on top of them with a forty tonne weight limit. Click on the link for more pictures all taken in the last few weeks ...

• Watch Out, Theres A Scammer About!

  
  EASTCLIFF SAMANTHA — Authority: 472
  No, nothing to do with a particularly messy night out in the company of George Michael, as the above ad, taken from one of those 1960s East Kent Critic s that our local Biblio-Bloke put up on his excellent thanetonline blog a while back, might suggest. No, this is something altogether more serious. Ive heard ...

  thanetonline — Authority: 474
  Walking round Ramsgate this morning and looking at aspects of the failing infrastructure and the lack of sensible investment, I got to thinking about the way we have been governed under this administration. One question that I find very hard to answer; is are we being governed by a cabinet with Conservative ideals ...
