Voters Betrayed as Conservative-Elected Councillor Votes for Labour Administration in Thanet
Last night the Conservative administration of Thanet District Council,led by Councillor Bob Bayford, was replaced by Labour when Councillor John Worrow, formerly elected as a Conservative for Birchington South, voted for Labour Leader Clive Hart.
Just two weeks ago and without any prior warning, Councillor Worrow resigned the Conservative whip. In last night’s leadership vote, he voted for Labour’s Clive Hart thereby ushering in a Labour administration despite 62% of voters in his Birchington South ward having voted Conservative in the May election.
Alasdair Bruce, the remaining Conservative Councillor for Birchington South commented: “I am appalled that the vast majority of voters in Birchington South have been disenfranchised by the actions of Councillor Worrow. He has betrayed the 1171 residents who voted for him as a Conservative candidate and he has sabotaged the democratic process in my ward and in Thanet.
“This is not the first time he has changed sides shortly after an election and I call upon Mr. Worrow, who claims his personal vote is unassailable, to submit to an immediate by-election. The voters of Birchington South can then decide whether to endorse his unilateral decision to vote for a Labour administration against the express wishes of his constituents”.
Not only did the Conservative Party win 62% of votes in this ward, it was the largest party in Thanet as a whole in the recent elections with 47% of the popular vote.
Independent Councillor Jack Cohen also voted for Clive Hart, despite Labour coming last in Birchington South with only 18% of the votes cast in May.
NEW COUNCIL LEADER ELECTED - UPDATED DETAILS
Thanet District Council’s new leader, Cllr. Clive Hart, has named his new Cabinet and has spoken about his aims for the council.
Cllr. Hart was elected at a full meeting of Council last night (Thursday 8 December), after a Notice of Motion was passed to remove the previous Leader, Cllr. Bob Bayford, from the position.
Cllr. Hart said: “I’d like to thank Cllr. Bayford for all his hard work and service as the Leader of the Council. He’s exceptionally well respected and there was nothing personal in this. Although the change has literally happened overnight, I will be working with my colleagues to ensure as much continuity as possible between the two administrations. As we move forward, I hope we can become a more listening council and I’ll be striving for genuine consultation where it’s needed. I want the council to be as transparent as possible in the decisions it takes and I can assure residents that I’ll be pushing to minimise cuts to our funding.”
Cllr. Alan Poole is the council’s new Deputy Leader. The other members of Cabinet are as follows:
| Cabinet Member (Labour) | Portfolio |
| Cllr. Clive Hart | Economic Development and Regeneration (which also includes the |
| Cllr. Iris Johnston | Community Services (which includes housing need and homelessness, private sector housing, housing intervention, the Margate Task Force, licensing and land charges, community safety, parking, sport, art, museums, the Thanet Coast Project, indoor and outdoor leisure, play services and events) |
| Cllr. Alan Poole | Environmental Services (which includes waste and recycling, street cleaning, public toilets, environmental health, coastal protection, parks, allotments, building control, general estate management, crematorium and cemeteries, asset management, planning applications, planning enforcement and conservation) |
| Cllr. Rick Everitt | Performance (which includes financial services, governance and risk, legal services, democratic services, contract management and corporate information and communications) |
| Cllr. Michelle Fenner | Partnerships and Tourism (which includes shared services, such as East Kent Housing, human resources, East Kent Audit, customer services, revenues and benefits and IT services) |
Cabinet meeting on 12 December
The Cabinet Leader has given notice that the Extraordinary Cabinet, fixed for 12 December, will continue as planned.
However, the Leader has made it clear that the new administration will not be in a position to make decisions in relation to the 2012/13 draft budget, the proposed lease extension to Margate Football Club and the item concerning Broadstairs Community Centre.
These items will be deferred to a future Cabinet meeting.
NEW BOOK TELLS THE STORY OF RAMSGATE HARBOUR
Author Michael Hunt said: “The last book about the harbour was written 25 years ago and concentrated on its construction. My book looks at the bigger picture – a whole history of the harbour from medieval times to the present day.”
Mr Hunt, former curator of Ramsgate Maritime Museum
The book also explores Ramsgate’s involvement with the ‘Cinque Ports ’, the part the harbour played in two World Wars and its long history as a cross-Channel port.
A History of Ramsgate Harbour, price £9.99, is available from Michael’s Bookshop, 72 King Street , Ramsgate Kent CT11 8NY

WORK STARTS ON LANDMARK MARGATE FLOOD SCHEM
Work has now started on a multi million pound landmark scheme to protect Margate Old Town from flooding.
Experienced contractors, J Breheny Contractors Ltd, who are responsible for the construction of this scheme, are now on site and will be working on the seafront until its completion in December 2012.
This major programme of work will see almost 10,000 tonnes of concrete, 600 tonnes of grout and 365 tonnes of steel piling used during construction. As well as dramatically improving flood defences for the town, the completed construction will also provide an excellent public space to enjoy views of the beach, sea and Stone Pier.
The scheme has been developed and designed carefully over the last two years by the East Kent Engineering Partnership, which includes officers from Thanet District Council and Canterbury City Council who have extensive expertise in marine construction and coastal protection. The partnership is also responsible for supervising the work during construction.
Work will be carried out in four main sections, this includes:
· Strengthening of the Stone Pier
· Sea wall reconstruction of the South sea wall (Marine Drive)
· New stepped structure from the beach to the promenade
· Sea wall reconstruction of the North sea wall (The Parade)
The first phase of work was completed in April 2011 and was carried out from the Harbour Slipway to the Rendezvous.
Due to the scale of the project, the construction site will be quite large on Marine Drive and as a result some disruption is likely during parts of the works on site. The completed scheme however will have a life of at least 50 years and will provide much better flood protection to the properties on Marine Drive and in the Old Town area.
Full details of the scheme, including a schedule of the planned work and the impacts during construction are available to view atwww.thanet.gov.uk/coastalfloodscheme. You can also find out more by e-mailing coastalengineers@thanet.gov.uk or calling 01843 577083.
WORK UNDERWAY TO REGENERATE RAMSGATE ESTATE
Work has started on a major project to build 27 brand new homes and apartments to help regenerate part of Ramsgate's Newington estate.
This is the first phase of a project that will eventually see all the buildings at the Centre being demolished and replaced with a total of 60 new homes, which has already been granted planning permission.
The Centre has suffered from anti-social behaviour in recent years and redevelopment work is now underway on the first phase, concentrating on the south eastern corner of the development. This is being carried out by Orbit Homes in conjunction with Thanet District Council.
The demolished buildings will be replaced by 21 houses of two, three and four bedrooms and a total of six apartments, all either one or two bedrooms. Eight of the two bedroom homes will be available for shared ownership, while the rest will all be available through Orbit South at an affordable rent. A retail unit is also included in phase one of the scheme.
Cllr. Chris Wells, Cabinet Member for Community Services, said: “I’m sure many people have looked forward to seeing work getting underway on the redevelopment of the Centre. Sadly, it’s become a centre for anti-social behaviour over recent years, mainly because of the way it was designed. That’s why the council took the bold step of developing plans to demolish it and replace it with something much more suitable. I’m delighted that work is now underway and I’m sure that the new development will help to transform not only the landscape of Newington, but the quality of life for people who live there as well.”
Jackie Andrews, Director of Neighbourhood Services at Orbit South said: “We are very pleased that we are moving forward on this project. Once completed, Newington Centre will provide much needed homes in the area and will improve the overall quality of the neighbourhood. We will be agreeing a local lettings policy with Thanet District Council to make sure local people can bid on these homes. “
Funding for the scheme is coming from the Homes and Communities Agency and the full project will also see improvements to the road system, with the roundabout at the Centre removed. The first phase of the project is due to be completed by September 2012.
BROADSTAIRS TAKES PART IN LATEST CLEANSWEEP
Businesses in Broadstairs have been playing their part in the latest Operation Cleansweep.
The council organised crackdown spent two days in the town, visiting around 165 properties in Harbour Street, the High Street and the Broadway.
As a result of the operation, investigations are now underway into a development being built in St. Mary’s Road, off Albion Street, to see whether it is being built in accordance with the approved plans.
The trade waste agreements that businesses have were checked and they were also asked if there were any issues that they wanted to discuss with the council. Four sites with a total of 17 separate graffiti tags were identified, which will now be cleaned off. Volunteers from Pipeline cleared three alleyways, while two children were discovered during a truancy sweep.
Cllr. Chris Wells, Cabinet Member for Community Services, said: “The businesses our officers visited and the people that they spoke to were generally very pleased to see them and were extremely positive about Cleansweep. That’s one of the reasons why we continue to do it on a regular basis, as we know it’s something that is important to the public. Yet again, this latest operation has shown that it’s also invaluable in gathering information, with problems uncovered that the council can then tackle.”
The operation included council officers from the council’s Enforcement Services and Planning teams, as well as Kent Police, Kent Fire and Rescue Service, Pipeline Youth volunteers, and the Educational Welfare team and wardens from Kent County Council.

Putting 'U' in the budget
Putting U in the budget is the council’s aim, with local people being given the chance to help shape the authority’s spending plans over the next four years. The council is working on its Corporate Plan, which will set out the council’s priorities for 2012-2016 and wants to make sure it focuses both money and resources on the areas that matter most to residents. Local people can now have their say either online at www.thanet.gov.uk/budget or by filling in a copy of the survey. Copies are available at all libraries and council offices and have also been sent out to around 500 local groups and organisations. The survey can also be filled out in the Thanet Times on Tuesday 13 December and in the KM Thanet Extra on Wednesday 14 December. A total of 3,000 properties, selected at random, will also have the survey sent directly to them to fill in. Last year’s budget consultation showed that local people’s top three priority services were: ● Waste and recycling collections ● Crime reduction and community safety ● Street cleansing As a result, these areas were protected from budget cuts as part of the 2011/12 budget process. This year’s survey looks at which council services residents use, the places they have visited, how satisfied they are with certain services and how the council could save money in the future. The council already has to save £1.5 million in its 2012/13 budget, for which draft proposals have just been published. It is expected that the council will need to make even more savings over the next three years to balance the books. Cllr. Martin Wise, Cabinet Member for Performance, said: “This year, more than ever, we want to put you in the budget. With cuts to our government grant and our income, the council is facing the toughest time it’s ever known, along with all other public sector organisations. Balancing the budget in these circumstances is extremely difficult, but it’s something we’re committed to doing. To do that, we need your help, as we need to know which services are priorities for you, as that’s where our focus and our money should be targeted. This is your chance to tell us which services matter most to you.” Responses need to be submitted to the council by Thursday 5 January 2012. Hard copies of surveys should be returned to FREEPOST SEA8273, Consultation, Thanet District Council, PO Box 9, Margate, CT9 1XZ.

Mobility Allowance – MP welcomes change of policy
North Thanet/Herne Bay MP has today (Thursday 1st December) welcomed the coalition Government`s decision to retain the payment of those qualifying for mobility allowance and living in residential or nursing accommodation.
“Those of us who have lobbied Ministers on behalf of our disabled constituents can only be delighted that the force of the argument in favour of the retention of mobility allowance has been recognised. I myself have made the case for those living in, particularly, Strode Park in Herne Bay and in other residential homes in Thanet and The Bay.
Superficially, it has been suggested that because people are living in homes providing sheltered or nursing care they have no need of “mobility”. In fact, the mobility allowances have enabled residents to take a pace closer to a proper social life by facilitating visits to shops, restaurants and entertainment. Without that money many people would have found themselves confined within the walls of their home and with no prospect of getting out and enjoying themselves.
The fact that someone is compelled to use a wheelchair, for example, should not mean that they should also be prevented from getting out to retail outlets to choose their own clothes, buy their own toiletries and make-up or visit a theatre to see a show or a public house for a drink or a meal. This change of heart represents a very considerable recognition of the real needs of those whose lives are permanently challenging and I am delighted that their voice has been not only heard but heeded.”

A DREAM IN LIGHTS FOR MARGATE
The existing lamps in the Dreamland lettering along the side of the Cinema building are being replaced with LED white lighting by Thanet District Council’s contractors, Coombs (Canterbury
It is planned that the word “dream” will be lit nightly for the festive period from Friday 16 December until Sunday 1 January 2012. The work is being paid for by money that the council received in 2009 from the Sea Change Fund through the Department for Culture, Media and Sport.
Leader of Thanet District Council, Cllr. Bob Bayford, said: “I’m sure residents will be eagerly looking forward to seeing the Dreamland sign, which has been a focal point in the town for many years, lit up once again. It’s a great Christmas present and no doubt a “dream” come true for many people, who want to see the site being brought back into use. That’s what we’re trying to achieve, in partnership with the Dreamland Trust, and this is another step towards that aim.”
The Dreamland Cinema building was opened in 1935 and contained a 2,200 seat cinema, ballroom, restaurants and lounges, but today it is a sad shadow of its former self. The roof of the cinema has been leaking, leading to damage in the cinema, bingo hall and amusement arcade. Additionally, a burst water pipe in the tea bar of the bingo hall caused further damage to the building.
The council’s contractors have been carrying out major repairs to the grade II* listed Cinema building since May 2011. The work was started after a series of Urgent Works Notices were served on the owners of the building earlier this year. To date, the contractors have been carrying out re-pointing and structural repairs to the steel frame and concrete, and to the doors and windows. Some of the roof structure has also had to be replaced, due to its poor condition. The work is expected to be completed by spring 2012.
Cllr. Bayford added: “While this is a great step forward, unfortunately we’ve discovered that the extent of the work required to preserve the Cinema building is greater than we had originally anticipated. Sadly, this beautiful listed building has been left to fall into worse disrepair than we had thought and that has only become clear once our contractors were able to get on site and assess exactly what was needed.”
The majority of the exterior work to the Cinema building has now been completed, with the next phase due to look at the interior. This will include restoring power to the organ, which has not been used since power was cut off to it in 2005. Once power is restored, the council will be inviting David Wattenbach, who rebuilt the organ following the 1987 hurricane, to assess its condition.
A public inquiry into the council's plans to compulsorily purchase the Dreamland site will be held at the council offices starting on 10 January 2012.
SILVER FOR VISITOR INFORMATION TEAM
Thanet’s Visitor Information team will be going through to national awards, after picking up silver in Tourism South East’s Beautiful South Awards for Excellence 2011.
They took the silver award in the tourist information service of the year category and will now go forward to the Visit England Awards for Excellence 2012. It’s the third year in a row that the team has been shortlisted for the tourist information award and the second year that they’ve been awarded a silver. However, it’s the first time that they will be put forward to the national awards.
The team were also highly commended in the outstanding customer service category, where they were up against a wide range of organisations, including Beaulieu in Hampshire, home to the national motor museum, hotels in Berkshire and Dorset and a food and wine shop in Buckinghamshire.
Cllr. Alasdair Bruce, Cabinet Member for Partnerships and Tourism, said: “I’m delighted for the team, and I think it’s great recognition for their hard work. The fact that they’re consistently being shortlisted for these awards and that they managed to beat off stiff competition to take a silver award shows just what a great team we have and what a wonderful job they do of promoting Thanet. I wish them all the best at the national awards and let’s hope for more success there.”
FINE FOR ORGANISER OF ILLEGAL RAVE AT ST. NICHOLAS
The organiser of an illegal rave at St. Nicholas-at-Wade has been fined £500 and ordered to pay costs of £150 to the council.
Joshua Medley (23) from Princes Park Avenue in Hayes, Middlesex, who was originally from Margate, pleaded guilty to carrying out a licensable activity, the playing of recorded music, without authorisation, when he appeared before magistrates in Canterbury.
The rave was held on the night of Friday 30 September, going into Saturday 1 October 2011. The police received a number of complaints from members of the public about loud recorded music being played and youths gathered in fields close to the Thanet Way
Police visited the site just after 8.00 am on the morning of Saturday 1 October and asked the DJ to turn the music off. At first, he refused, before turning it down. However, it was then put back to full volume. He was asked again to turn it down and again, he refused. At this point, the police unplugged the equipment.
More than 60 people were on site at the time, who were advised to leave, which they eventually did. At this point, a man, who later identified himself as Joshua Medley, was packing up the audio equipment. He confirmed that he was the organiser of the rave, that it was not a licensed event and that he did not have the permission of the land owner, because he believed it was common land.
He told police that he was going to university to study music and the rave had been a goodbye party for him. He estimated that he had spent around £400 on organising it. The audio equipment was seized by the police. As it was a licensing issue, the case was passed to Thanet District Council’s licensing department to prosecute.
Cllr. Chris Wells, Cabinet Member for Community Services, said: “Holding an illegal rave is a serious offence, with a maximum possible sentence of up to a £20,000 fine or six months’ imprisonment. This clearly wasn’t common land, as the defendant claimed, a point made during the court case, with the magistrates pointing out that hay bales are rarely left on common land. Anyone thinking of holding any event should always make sure that they have the correct licences for it and if they don’t, then they do risk facing the full wrath of the law.”
APPLICATION SUBMITTED FOR EUROKENT SITE
Plans have been submitted for a mixed-use development for businesses and up to 550 homes on the Eurokent site.
The site covers a total of 24 hectares of land, running from Westwood Cross at the north end to Newington at the south end and from behind the ambulance station to the west to the edge of Jackey Bakers and the Marlowe Academy
The application is for up to a total of 63,000 square metres of flexible employment uses, up to 550 homes and a local centre which would include local retail, community uses and space for use as a health centre or dentist.
Of the homes being proposed, 36% would be two-bedroom homes, 29% would be three-bedroom homes, 24% would be four-bedroom homes, with 7% being five-bedroom homes. The remaining 4% would be made up of 18 one-bedroom flats, which would be part of the local centre.
Details of the application are available on the council's website using UK Planning under reference number 11/0910. The plans can also be viewed by visiting Thanet's Gateway Plus in Cecil Street , Margate
The deadline for comments to be received is 16 December 2011. Comments should be sent to planning.services@thanet.gov.uk It is expected that the application will be considered by the council’s Planning Committee in early 2012.
