In Margate Central and Cliftonville West this is closer to £9,000 and takes into account all services on the island and includes policing etc.<br /><br />Thanet is a net recipient of benefits as having some of the highest deprivation problems in the country and I will share some of the figures on my ThanetLife weblog in the coming days.<br /><br />Even with such figures we are hardly awash with money and need much more to address chronic problems but we have still managed to peg the council tax increase at under 2.5% in contrast to 11% under the last Labour administrationAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03755236438987278120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-85856400629598762772010-02-25T21:42:40.463+00:002010-02-25T21:42:40.463+00:00Cost Effectiveness!

TDC really could not organize a bunfight in a bakery. The director in charge should really get the house in order, how embarrasing after all the advanced publicity, perhaps Canterbury Council to take over then we might get a decent service.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-128169849819702822010-02-25T14:49:48.568+00:002010-02-25T14:49:48.568+00:00Its suprising how quickly tdc can get through mone...Its suprising how quickly tdc can get through money, a carpet here a carpet there, double glazing, new furniture, a few mercedes trucks "they were a right bargain", make a few directors redundant employ a few more with a different title.

TDC cant be strapped for cash if this is true and fixing the speaker system would be a drop in vthe ocean. It would make Thanet richer than many an oil state!
