Last night I attended a meeting of the Boundary and Electoral Arrangements Working Party at TDC ... Everyone was there except for UKIP. (no apologies) .So the relevant question seems to be 'Where have the UKIP's Gone?' This seems to be a continuing theme at both TDC and KCC!

Last night ,at the TDC Joint Transportation Board, the Labour PPC for South Thanet suggested that no money should be spent on Ramsgate Railway Station forecourt on the grounds that a new station may be built in 6 years at Ramsgate Park Way!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On this logic, should no money be spent in Ramsgate , just in case the world ends in 2017?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sorry Will, but the people of Ramsgate deserve better!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh, and also Mr Shonk, (KCC Member) suggested that the people of the Cliffsend Village should have to put up with extra traffic so that Ramsgate folk could get to Canterbury 6 minutes earlier!!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

As Councillors we are obliged to abide by the Council's Constitution. We all sign up to that when we join. <br />
Last evening one member broke the rules of that Constitution. As a result the meeting had to be rescheduled.<br />
This involved a cost (financial) to the people of Thanet..to the Councillors who wasted their time...and to the staff who had their lives put on hold without need! (oh and of course the Public and Press, who turned up without need).<br />
<br />
The place to change the rules is at the Annual Meeting of the Council! Until changed those rules should be followed. (If you want the right to talk on your mobile without 'hands free' Get Parliament to change the rules...do not ignore the rule because you do not like it).<br />
If you do not agree with the rules.....try to change them...or leave the 'Club'!<br />

Portsmouth has lost its shipbuilding industry....but so have many other yards in the past. Times change and so does the Navy. At one time Chatham, Woolwich, Deptford, Greenwich, and even Smallhythe built Navy vessels. Could this just be a natural evolution of our Navy's needs?<br />

The new refuse collection system has not been without its 'glitches', but that was inevitable. A major operation on this scale is bound to have its 'hiccups'. Having had our first recycling pick-up today it was obvious that many residents had worked out the basics, (though I did see some folk had thought the silver food waste bin had to be placed in the brown bin.).<br />
The politcal leanings of TDC were of little import in the system, any Council would have to do similar.<br />
An interesting take on the enforcement of the system is coming from central government. It seems that fines should be issued as a last resort against people who put the wrong stuff in the wrong bin! Lets hope that TDC do not use the enforcement system as a 'Cash Cow'<br />

The reason, he was losing money on every pint of milk he sold. Each cow was giving around 7 gallons of milk a day.. he had a herd of about 350.. that amount of milk will now come from Europe!<br /><br />As an aside, he is now going to produce... Electricity!.. Grow maize and use a Anaerobic digester to convert it into gas, then gas into electricity.

It was interesting to note that the Councillor who had thrown his dummy out of the pram regarding a half hour 'Free' parking, in Birchington , was not there! </div><br /><div>What was also interesting to note was that his proposal would, actually, impose a tax upon the disabled and non car owners.</div><br /><div>The reason for this is that the plans, he proposed, would mean an extra cost on all ratepayers in Thanet. This means that those with 'Blue badges' , who currently pay nothing for two hours parking, would have to pay some of their rates toward this concession! (as would those who do not own a car). </div><br /><div>Councillors present came up with a suggestion that would give the residents of Birchington free parking in a carpark on saturdays... similar to the scheme proposed for the other town centres.</div>Ken Gregoryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04129320142361162837noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956080782499881433.post-29446158148541183032011-11-30T18:46:00.002+00:002011-11-30T18:49:42.216+00:00Day of Action!!!!I see that the public sector unions are on strike today...

<br /><div>Sadly there is no reason, other than criminal intent, for the actions of a few morons who caused the horrible events of the last few nights.
<br /></div>
<br /><div>It is something that needs dealing with, and quickly!, by Government. I see the police now have authority to use 'baton rounds' .
<br /></div>
<br /><div>This may help,along side the vast increase in numbers available, but more importantly it is so good to see the local communities rallying together to clear up the mess left by these sad gits.</div>
