News, Local history and Thanet issues from Michael's Bookshop in Ramsgate see www.michaelsbookshop.com I publish over 200 books about the history of this area click here to look at them.
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.
it was unsafe before the fire,there was a lot of subsidence due to being built on an old petrol storage tank
ReplyDeleteSo why was it given planning permission? I presume it was given planning permission?
ReplyDeleteAnd were TDC in the process of telling the developers to make expensive reparations? I think we should be told.
BTW Michael, you might like to know the thumbnail in my news feed reads 'Michael's Bookshop Blog deemed unsafe by officers from Thanet District Council'!
I will post some more pictures on my blog when the wife gets home I see on the way home last night they had made it safe down to first floor level.
