Another Ramsgate Tourist Attraction Gets Removed and a minor ramble

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.

ReplyDeleteShame about the Heritage Pontoons, but they haven't looked in particularly good condition for sometime. I suspect that this is another one of those ideas where it was fairly easy to get the initial capital funding, but any maintenance and repairs would have to come out of revenue - not easy when the Port and Harbour, taken together, are reported to be making a loss. Sad, but a problem that seems to common, not just in Thanet, but across the country and certainly in the parts of Spain and the USA that I've visited recently.
At least the Pav seems to be moving in the right direction.
