Progress on the Ramsgate watercolour painting, drains, planes and politics

First the watercolour, only progress this morning, rain for lunch.


I think the drains in Harbour Parade are getting blocked up again, see http://thanetonline.blogspot.co.uk/2010/08/monster-bass-jazz-funfair-flooding.html


What with the niff of them and the niff of the fertiliser blowing off one of the local farms, air pollution is cumulative and eventually it adds up to the point where you run away which I did this morning.

UKIP have done it again, so it seems Thanet are still backing the current administration at TDC

The DFT have published a new letter about the RiverOak DCO consultations https://infrastructure.planninginspectorate.gov.uk/wp-content/ipc/uploads/projects/TR020002/TR020002-Advice-00023-1-160812_TR020002_RiverOak%20s51%20advice_preapplication%20consulation%20duties.pdf  reading between the lines it looks like RiverOak are going to need to get a bit more responsive.   


I still haven’t had a reply to my emails to RiverOak although I had a long chat on the phone with their environmental specialist, more about that soon as I hope to get a written response to some of the points I made. 


New footpath sign I guess it's only a cycle path coming the other way, especialy on days when the gate is locked.

Post a Comment

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.
