Somehow I am not surprised and once again does nothing for Thanet District Council's reputation.<br /><br />I have just been reading Luara Sandy's destination history. Cannot think which way to take it when I read news like this. It is like most things historical from any Conservative, I always ask myself are they being genuine or are they making themselves look as if they are genuine.A J Ovendenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07145698477921862643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-21847040695475848522010-02-09T23:18:20.507+00:002010-02-09T23:18:20.507+00:00I understand that the trust had a letter from the ...I understand that the trust had a letter from the council agreeing to a lease and agreeing to repair the building, the council then changed their minds and have been prevaricating ever since. A normal TDC situation, the last lease apparently ran out several years ago but no-one would make a decision so nothing was done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-81919022410217466732010-02-09T22:49:02.838+00:002010-02-09T22:49:02.838+00:00Let us not forget we are dealing with people who t...Let us not forget we are dealing with people who think Thanet Gateway is agreat idea,that one of the suggestions recently touted was the place should be a fish market!The barbarians are truly inside the gates.When are the next local elections!?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-36222973614402501572010-02-09T18:22:32.162+00:002010-02-09T18:22:32.162+00:00If the Clock-Tower building was taken off the asse...If the Clock-Tower building was taken off the asset disposal register in recognition of the residents wishes, TDC should protect it by giving it a lease that will preserve it as a museum, even if the harbour estate is taken over by the shark infested private sector.<br /><br />There are many negative situations in which the coucil is involved. Taken in isolation each one has a different story. When viewed collectively a pattern emerges, and the word "incompetent" comes to mind!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-29318954985163059502010-02-09T16:25:43.841+00:002010-02-09T16:25:43.841+00:0015.33 I have removed the officers name from your c...15.33 I have removed the officers name from your comment and replaced it with his job description, sorry about this but officers can’t defend themselves here and names seem to last indefinitely on the internet. <br /><br />15.33 said. So effectively it's **** (Director of Regeneration Services and harbour master) who has yet again stalled any progress. By the time he's flogged off the port and gets to build his pet tower block of 'luxury' flats down there, the Clock House will have gone the way of the Marina Restaurant.Michael Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499435016469020417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-74889101774029667512010-02-09T15:33:23.382+00:002010-02-09T15:33:23.382+00:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
