Just a quick point, and I understand bertie biggles also gives it a mention, Ladyman in this weeks Thanet Extra apparently sets out to dispels myths in his column over China Gateway.

One fact we do know in all this, is that...

I'm busy this week but a couple of things I'd like to expand on, come to mind as I chomp through dinner, one why can't Thanet council come clean on Northdown House which remains a mystery despite some councillor (who was going to retire but didn't) suggesting it will close at end of the year, as Thanet Leisure force have declined to take bookings for 2009, seemingly ignoring the fact that Thanet Leisure...

A former landfill site which is also an Ancient Scheduled Monument could be turned into an off-road biking area. The site in Dane Valley Road, Broadstairs, Kent, is currently used illegally for off-road biking and fly-tipping, Thanet District Council said.

You might expect a local authority to be able to look after the local heritage, but once again things Thanets valuables are at risk.

The egovmonitor report below confirms my suspicion the Thanet Tories intend the most drastic cuts to its grants to local voluntary and community groups, including cutting concessionary rents. Despite perceived wisdom, that grants to voluntary organisation represent incredible value for money in terms of levering work of volunteers, the Tories obviously feel the need cut where they can because of their...

Had this from Steve Dawe, who along with yours truly, Caroline Lucas and Keith Taylor is part of the Green Party slate for South East Constituency of the European Parliament. Will Thanet become part of China? Well put like that it sounds rather fun, however concreating over large parts of the countryside around Broadstairs is not something that is attractive to local residents. Its all part of neo-liberal...
