The first webcast of a Thanet District Council meeting

Having I believe been partly instrumental in causing this webcast is should first like to thank all of those responsible in bringing it about and most particularly to thank them for taking the risk of doing so with inadequate equipment.

I have managed to listen to all of it between different things that at I had to do yesterday evening and this morning and should point out that once it has downloaded to your pc it seems to stay there and any time you open the webpage that it’s on you can drag the cursor in the time bar to wherever you left off.

I suppose the thing that is most evident in the council meeting is the futility of much of the party political wrangling at local level, the problems are very large as are the constraints with evidently few practical solutions.

There is also a sense that this is mostly Margate’s council, with some councillors often seeming to forget the existence of the other Thanet towns.

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.
