ReplyDeleteDerelict Seafront,Derelict Pav,Derelict Westcliff Hall,Waterfall not working,welcome to Ramsgate!!
It's also got more Nimbys per head of population than probably any other town in the world.
ReplyDeleteGet Wetherspoons in the Pav a.s.a.p.
ReplyDeleteBeer, the cause and solution to all of life's problems.
WOW, can ANYONE not post anything positive!
ReplyDeleteIgnore the nimbys, they are FINALLY on the decline as support for them is shown to be minimal!
I for one celebrate this great news for Ramsgate!
So everything in the garden is rosy is it John? You haven't just falsely accounted for £3.4M. You haven't been running a ferry port with no income for four years. You haven't had to plunder reserves and other budgets. You haven't got to cut services and staff. The Pleasurama site is nearly completed with full occupancy a hotel and shops and is a howling success. The Pavilion is all well maintained and providing a worthwhile service. The old motor museum is all up and running and a great facility. Ramsgate is heaving with visitors and tourists. Of course it is. Why cant the damned nimby's see all this. Are they all blind? Can I borrow your glasses please?
ReplyDeleteLOL LOL LOL the nimbys are the cause of 99% of Thanets problems Anon. Tragically, those like who who hide behind anonimity allow them to keep bleating on as if they have some support, which the last local elections prove perfectly that they simply don't.
DeleteI can get you some glasses to borrow, but I fear you need a LOT more help than glasses can give you.
16:54 You are confusing the use of the term 'nimbys' which is used to describe those who oppose everything like Louise and co. Then getting things right is not your strong point, is it?
ReplyDeleteAnon 20.48 Nimby stands for not in my back yard. I don't see how that applies to Louise and Co whoever they are. Will you please explain where I am mistaken.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't know who they are Anon 23:04, then clearly your question is utterly irrelevant.
DeleteQuite right, Anon 23:04, meaning all those people who do not want an airport at Manston, a Tesco at Arlington, a new development at Pleasurama because of the tsunami risk or for Whitbreads to be granted a new lease on the Pavilion and who previously opposed the Turner and just about everything else that might improve Thanet. Those are the nimbys, not people who question where is all the evidence to support such objections. They might be described as the progressives who do not routinely reject everything out of hand like Louise Oldfield, Barry James et al.
ReplyDeleteWell said 16:54. I don't understand how this Active Ramsgate nonsense can have bars, cafes etc signed up for it if it hasn't launched yet? I've certainly not heard of it before this press release and Duffers Club party on the rates.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope businesses have been asked for their permission, or paid, to feature in this council propaganda or the leaflets may need to be pulped.
Today's "TDC Resign" banner on Pleasurama says it all - we don't want these corrupt and incompetent old fools. take down the Royal Sands banners and hoarding and the other Beachfront development further along the seafront. We don't want it or these idiot councillors and civil servants. They have failed.
