Site Redevlopment and Changes

Kent County Council | Margate | Parliament | Thanet District Council | Manston Airport | Help & Advice | Things to see and do | Ramsgate | St. Peters | Broadstairs | Manston | Dane Valley | Millmead | Newington

This site does not fullfill it's original purpose and so must be changed.

To this end we are going to start afresh splitting the site into three or more unique sites each with a unique domain name.

We will in time produce a search engine specifically for thanet content.

None of us intended to become administrators of a large and unwieldy system to complex for the average web user to consider using. But we have become this.

They did this without evidence and were able to secure a burden of proof scenario best known as guilty until proven innocent which contravenes the common law on England, Wales and Scotland.

Breaches of law by Thanet District Council

General

"I was sworn in (on the Bible) and asked my address, which I gave. The councils Court Officer read out the cause of summons getting my address wrong in the process..."

Thus begins the story of The Council, The courts and the breaches of law. It continues with a victim denied the right to present evidence in defence - the victim started to present evidence but "I... was stopped and costs were [then] awarded against me."

What this appears to ammount to is an unfair trail and multiple breaches of the both common law and satutes.

Police Camera.. um, no action

General

Those of you odd enough to follow me arround the internet will know I don't exactly have a high opinion of the police anymore.

I wonder why.

A few lads set up a video then a few more stage a break and enter on the home they livein while a crowd of police fail to react. All real apart from the crime which was fake.

Password Needed to Access Councillor Contact Info

General

Why is that when I need vital information from the council's own website I am faced with http error codes.

For example I need to contact my new councillors for the ward I am in as a matter of extreme urgency. (no kidding this is some bad stuff I need to address).

However for some reason I must have a user name and password to access the councillors contact information.

Does anyone know what this user-name and password combo might be?

Who are you voting for

General

I'm happy to say that I will be voting against the current Dane Valley councillors as they refuse to do their job, reply to the people they represent or even make an effort to pretend they give a damn. Whoever is left - they get my vote regardless of the party they stand for.

Well that's my vote sorted out - what about anyone else?

Todays Elections

General

What are our councilors thinking? After an extensive search I can find no details of the candidates anywhere.

Is there any surprise that no one votes?

Does any one have anything like a decent rundown of who and where?

Heritage idea for Dreamland site

Heritage idea for Dreamland site, says BBC Report but we ask if it is already over.

"A heritage amusement park is being suggested as a potential future plan for the Dreamland funfair site in Margate, Kent." Reports the BBC.

The idea proposed by the Save Dreamland Campaign would see the site become a cross between a funfair and a live musiuum.
