Fwd: MAN INJURED IN DANGEROUS EYESORE BUILDING
23/09/2010
MAN INJURED IN DANGEROUS EYESORE BUILDING
(Opposite Turner Contemporary Site)
A police and fire service operation in conjunction with the ambulance service had to deal with an unnamed injured young man in the derelict Fort Road Hotel in Margate, opposite the multi million pound Turner Contemporary.
Ward Councillor Iris Johnston said "A member of the public alerted me to the accident on Tuesday evening around 9pm and I am sorry to say this was something waiting to happen. Cllr John Watkins and I have reported an open window for months and at other times over the years reported squatters and rubbish to TDC.
I took an officer up there again three weeks ago and we saw a young man trying to gain entry. I also pointed out the rubbish filled basement area where anyone could fall in".
Councillor Johnston added "TDC are at last taking legal action under a section 215 Notice and could go for compulsory purchase on both the Hotel and Arcadian.
There is a planning application in for the latter and apparently 'decorative hoardings' may be put up on both eyesores. TDC have at last served Section 215 notices with a possibility of compulsory purchase if the owners don't make the long
over due repairs and improvements.
We were at this stage with the Hotel in 2003 and I don't know how many times we can push for action. I am waiting to hear how the young man is and I can only hope we haven't a real tragedy".

Leader of the Opposition at TDC Cllr Clive Hart said "this incident is very worrying. I have seen regular correspondence that proves the ward councillors have done everything they possibly could to warn TDC of the dangerous conditions, but the current administration have been way to slow in taking appropriate action.
Now the Conservative Cabinet intends to hide the Hotel and other eyesore buildings along the seafront from visitors to the Turner Contemporary behind huge hoardings. That's all very well, but they will still be a danger, and continuing eyesores to local rate paying residents inland.
Indeed, the hoardings could hide all manner of illicit activity and actually make things worse. Failing to act on the ward councillors repeated concerns over the past seven years has forced TDC into rushed, last-minute and very temporary solutions to longstanding problems".

THANET PROTEST AGAINST SPENDING CUTS
PRESS RELEASE
SEPTEMBER 2010
PROTEST BUS HEADS FOR TORY CONFERENCE
People in Thanet worried about job cuts are being given a "golden opportunity" to make their feelings heard at the Conservative Party Conference on Sunday October 3rd.
A special bus has been arranged to take protestors from Thanet to the conference which is being held in Birmingham
The bus has been organised by the East Kent Right To Work campaign group which is calling on all people opposed to the government spending cuts to demonstrate at the conference.
The campaign group, supported by trade union bodies and student and pensioner organisations, aims to unite those in and out or work to build "Greek style resistance" to the spending cuts. |
Campaign group member Keith Woods said: "Thanet will be hit by the cuts much more than any other parts of Britain
"And rises in VAT will hit the poorest most -- and Thanet is a very poor area.
"It's vital that people here go to the Tories to make clear how angry we feel about this. This is a golden opportunity to do this."
The protest bus will pick up from Margate Cecil Square Canterbury

First Impressions - A New Play About Margate
FIRST IMPRESSIONS by Tim Stimpson, performed by THE NET CURTAINS THEATRE COMPANY – a play all about and FOR Margate.
Please help us to fill the Theatre Royal Margate next Friday and Saturday 24th and 25th. This is going to be one of the most entertaining, funny and brilliant things we have seen for a long time!
You may know about an excellent event last year where the Net Curtains Theatre Company presented excerpts from three plays, all with a Margate theme, and the full-house audience voted for which one they wanted to be written up into a complete production. The winner chosen was First Impressions by Tim Stimpson who writes for The Archers. Here is some more information http://netcurtains.org/wordpress/ and a flyer is attached. If you would like a higher-res flyer please let me know.
Claire has brought this project together on a shoestring and she needs to fill the Theatre Royal on Friday evening, and Saturday afternoon and evening, so this message must reach as many people as possible. Anyone who knows, works or lives in Margate will appreciate this production, even people who wouldn’t normally go to the theatre. It really is pure entertainment for absolutely everyone, of all ages. It’s ALL ABOUT MARGATE and FOR MARGATE, and it will be excellent!
You can get your tickets here. http://www.theatreroyalmargate.com/. This event is next weekend so move fast and book asap!
Please pass this on to everyone you know. This project deserves to succeed, not only because of Claire’s passion for Margate and her incredible energy for this project, but because it is going to be FANTASTIC and you shouldn’t miss it!
Thank you!
