A tourism plan announced at the beginning of July? And how is that a first for Kent? Sounds like bureaucratic desperation. Or another cockup like not signing the Dreamland papers and wasting another year.
ReplyDeleteAnd working with local businesses? They've done stuff all. A mention on the tourist website, and funding Infratil or TransEuropa on the quiet.
Any Dutch visitors been seen from KLM etc? Thought not.
We need an official naturist beach! That'll bring the Dutch in, and maybe the French & German too.
ReplyDeleteThe beach where you go is sort of official isn't it? Won't it attract doggers? The toilets are riddled with peepholes whenever I empty my bowels. If they're not closed, the toilets I mean not my bowels.
ReplyDeleteWell I personally haven't used it in years, as I'm more into hiking and cycling than lazing around on a beach these days (as well as more careful about protecting my skin)... No it's not an official naturist beach (the only official naturist beach in Kent is in Shellness near Leysdown) but it is perfectly legal to be nude there, as with anywhere else in England unless there's specific local by-laws preventing people from doing so (and there's none anywhere in Thanet). What IS illegal is to "deliberately cause offence" by being naked, so it's all a very grey area.
DeleteAs for "doggers" or any other anti-social behavior, if the beach became officially recognised then people wouldn't hesitate to call the police.
