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.
Please find attached a report which I am reliably informed is ‘NOW’ a matter of public record.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 bet hes appalled. If the public knew about the dirt digging by the former candidate for Margate & Cliftonville...
ReplyDeleteThere are too many grey areas in this one, as we find so very often with the whole area of conflict of interests and how to deal with them.
Does Cllr Clarke live in this road and does he know Cllr Johnston and Cllr Watkins?????
ReplyDeleteI find this all a little tedious!
ReplyDeleteIf we were to look at who lives next door to whom and who mixes socially with whom, the situation in Thanet becomes a nightmare of conflicting interests. Cllrs with officers; Cllrs with businessmen; Quango heads and developers etc; the material for conspiracy theories is all there for those who want to look or make them up!
There might be far more serious conflicts of interest lying around to be discovered locally, than a pathetic little issue of double yellow lines outside a nursing home?
Michael, does this post say that you were the agent for Iris and Clive? Bit confusing,
ReplyDelete10.40 it says in the post Cllr. John Watkins Election Agent for Cllrs. Clive Hart & Iris Johnston, I don’t see how it could be any clearer.
ReplyDeleteThinking about this a little more, this complaint seems to be rather weak. Does it actually make a material difference when the Decision Notice is sent out? The Decision was to refer it to the Monitoring Officer for further investigation. The Decision Notice wasnt even a decision!
ReplyDeleteIt seems that Mr Philip Bourlet (the complainant) has little interest in honesty of public office and a lot more interest in feathering his own nest. Mr Bourlet has campaigned tirelessly to fight for the right to park his 4X4 on the path outside his home at 23 St Peters Road. I am a neighbour and I struggle to pass this monster vehicle that he insists on parking on the path. I previously approached my councillor Cllr John Watkins, but he was clearly in cahoots with Cllr Clarke and Philip Bourlet, and wouldn’t even hear me out. I would be very interested to know what relationship exists between these parties as they seem so determined to stick together.
