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.
As always I admire your tenacity in pursuing these issues.
ReplyDeleteAs I understand it TDC has long been aware of chemical contamination of the chalk layer at Poorhole Lane.
I don't know if, in your local historical studies, you have encountered the name Billy Blencoe ?
best wishes
Rick as far as tenacity goes I have pretty much given up on local issues other than those where there is a major issue of public safety, I just don’t get enough time for more.
ReplyDeleteSo its pretty much trying to achieve a long to medium term safe water supply, by either ensuring that no more industrial use is considered over our sources and storage or at least trying to ensure much tougher waste management. Trying to ensure that Manson airport runoff goes into the sewers and not our drinking water.
With Pleasurama I long ago gave up trying to get a sensible and attractive development with some sympathy for the surrounding architecture and am now just resolved to try and get a development that is at least safe to live in.
