I really think it's just a continuation of the declining standards over the past 30 or so years. I'm probably a little younger than you Michael, but I'm still old enough to remember getting the ruler over the knuckles at school; I remember when we all respected the police, almost without question (& I grew up in a rough part of South London, not a cosy middle-class subrbia); and I remember when it was considered quite shocking for a woman to be drunk in public (now they brag about it). In the late 80s & 90s we were all paying for a generation being raised without discipline, & now we're paying double, for a generation raised by PARENTS who's had no disipline...Peter Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06283534498743254609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-3246257867040464272009-05-03T19:58:00.000+01:002009-05-03T19:58:00.000+01:00I hope they will be offering you a consultancy fee...I hope they will be offering you a consultancy fee Michael.<br /><br />After our email correspondence today ... law, duty, oath, demeanour and rights to anonymity etc er indoors took out the camera.<br /><br />The result is I now have my piccie on my blog profile. <br /><br />I think she decided to assist a nuber of internet warriors who have tried to threaten me.

Went to Broadstairs today and the whole town was heaving, the Dickens museum was open, there were craft fairs and plenty for the masses to do. This is what we need, but to be fair none of this has been generated by the council, (but maybe by Broadstairs town council!) why dont they just let individuals get on with entreprenal enterprise not think they have to control it all the time!

Thank you!
It is brilliant to find ...Dear Michael. <br />Thank you!<br />It is brilliant to find this update. There are so many rumours surrounding this development and absolutely NO information from TDC (who in my view should be acting much more responsibly in keeping the public informed on such a major seafront development). The whole thing is farcical! <br />We had the official launch of phase 1 build last August with deposits taken and a planned start date of last September!! Why don't they come clean about all this.<br />Meanwhile Ramsgate seafront looks an utter eyesore. We have unsightly hoardings around the site, right beside the main sands, that have been in place for several years now: We have what was a beautiful grade 2 listed Royal Victoria Pavillion that was badly neglected by the previous owners and is similarly boarded up: We have the grade 2 Marina Restaurant further along the main seafront which is partially demolished and no sign of the promised restoration due to start latest end March: While further along within the Ramsgate conservation area, we have 4 vulnerable, exposed arches within the viaduct which have remained an utter eyesore and totally unprotected for over 30 years. The full stop is the demolished sea water filled swimming pool which use to grace the seafront and would have been a fantastic asset to the town, now a car park and virtual no-go area after dark. <br />I utterly despair of what is being allowed to happen to Ramsgate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
