I am perplexed that Cllr Poole(whom I believe represents Ramsgate?) is not outraged that Ramsgate/Thanet residents have been denied financial returns from this prime site for many years. Having secured a high profile position on Thanet Council, he should be using his position to expose what has been going on instead of reinforcing the status quo. He had better stick very close to his labour colleagues then, because he is no friend of ours. If our assets had not been squandered owing at the very least to complacency, I feel sure our council tax bills would be around half what they are now, and have better public services to boot.sologaysnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-40224604955178084502013-02-06T21:44:50.467+00:002013-02-06T21:44:50.467+00:00The meeting was excellent about 50 people turned u...The meeting was excellent about 50 people turned up. Everyone was united in their opposition to the development and developers SFP. Amazingly Councillor Allan Poole who is repsonsible for this development said everyone was talking rubbish and that he would like to see the development completed, even though the Environment Agency says its potentially dangerous. Even though the developers are close to insolvency. That's local democracy Thanet style.Ian Drivernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-83981876770826947972013-02-06T21:36:36.061+00:002013-02-06T21:36:36.061+00:00Thank you for correcting me.

Ian Driver well. I personally do not feel that an important key area of the town such as this is an appropriate place to have flats. What is the point of having a Town Council who allow this situation of a 'derelict' site for so long in such an important area.

The Sands project is turning into a Whitehall farce - get rid of it, it is not wanted and Ramsgate deserves better. Another point you have failed on is the Live Export issue, another blight on Ramsgate. Ramsgate is my home and has been for 40+ years and I am appalled and ashamed that the people who care are being ignored in favour of political flatulence.<br />Ramsgate does not need an art gallery to survive no more than the police need a commissioner handing out jobs on "Mates rates" and who supports the Live Exports and seeks to undermine the protesters with financial smearing excersizes at public expense while there is a more than adequate Chief Constable. Thanet Council should employ an old fashioned Purer and sell off the accumalated material to the leather trade. The proceeds, which going by the amount of dog exrement lining the streets of Ramsgate alone would go some way to expanding the local coffers and rovide a few pedestrian crossings.

If the 5pm meeting is successful perhaps the organisers might consider repeating the exercise at a later time. I'm sure that many people who who work during the day, are fed up with being fleeced for Council tax by a Council which has ignored the needs and wishes of the people who pay the bills, and is substantially responsible for the mess which now exists. We should all be demanding an end to the secret meetings and total transparency over the current situation and what has gone before. It is simply not credible to assert that nobody has done anything wrong.
