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.
I have not gone to the library because I assumed it would be crap - does this mean I was right?
ReplyDeleteThat's the plan for Ramsgate I'm afraid. I'm not sure if they think they can abandon the "Shop" in York street or not.
ReplyDeleteSo we lose the gallery, museum and local studies areas and gain a TDC access desk.
You may believe this or not, but County Councillor Elizabeth Green and I were the only ones speaking out against the plan.
David I gather that in Margate Thanet Gateway the council staff are finding it even more difficult than the library staff, although as you can imagine it is unlikely that anyone will be prepared to speak out on this issue.
ReplyDeleteWith most of the various public buildings in Ramsgate under review a bit more information and consultation wouldn’t go a miss, I am wondering out of the museum, library, Albion house, tourist information office, town partnership, TDC shop in York St. if we have got to lose some of it shouldn’t we be aiming to retain the best.
I would have thought that the tourist information office could go in with the museum and the town partnership could go in with TDC shop saving quite a lot of money for no great loss.
I believe at Margate they have had to lose a local studies storeroom to TDC meaning that a lot of important Thanet archive has had to be sent out of Thanet.
