Ted Watt-Ruffell not still a Conservative Councillor

There seems to be some confusion about Ted Watt-Ruffell’s resignation from the Conservative group.

I made a couple of checks on this one, one being to ask Simon Moores to confirm this in writing, here is his response:

“Cllr Edwin Watt-Ruffell has resigned from the Conservative Group of Thanet District Council

I understand that Ted has also tendered his resignation as Mayor of Margate and there is a meeting of the Margate Charter Trustees this evening.

There is really no more to be said on the matter at present.”

I also checked with the council as they have to have official notification of any such changes in order to balance the representation of different political parties within committees.

They also confirmed that they had received official notification of his resignation from the Conservative group.

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
