Marine Drive and Marine Terrace will be narrowed to 7 metre's wide by widening the pavement for pedestrians. The parking spaces will be removed so the business's can go alfresco.<br /><br />The round about at the station will be removed and 3 way traffic lights installed. At the Clock Tower, the road is going to be moved around the otherside to create a traffic light controlled crossroads with Belgrave Road.<br /><br />All this work has been estimated to cost about 8 Million pounds, and is to be funded by Dreamland and Tesco Arlington, as the KCC has no budget for it.<br /><br />I only found out about it on Friday, as all the public consultations must of happened when most of us were at work.<br /><br />Here is a link to the PDF document.<br />http://arlingtonhousemargate.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/jacobe-margate-seafront-public-realm.pdfAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1491979293469345296.post-45146318133860535032013-06-17T09:32:59.388+01:002013-06-17T09:32:59.388+01:00A large Tesco is a terrible idea for margate seafr...A large Tesco is a terrible idea for margate seafront.

It is well established that the out-of-town supermarkets have killed the high street, so to have something of this size a stone's throw from Margate high street is the death nail for it. And worse, it threatens the few shops, cafes and restaurants that have managed to make it this far. With the advent of Dreamland around the corner this feels like a giant step backwards for the town when this was no need - the area already has amongst the highest ratio of supermarkets per capita in the country.
