I've not posted here for a while and to be honest probably will not do so again. I do still blog you can read my musings at The Thanet Star where I write about Thanet in general but I've given up with TDC to be honest. Getting beaten up by TDC builders and then harassed by a cop not liking my reporting him to the police complaints commission (over the aforementioned assault's (lack of) investigation), took that spark right out of what should have been a blog about doing basic gardening (because the council can not maintain even a featureless yard). I never got an answer out of the council over any of these issues and all three councillors failed to even stand for this area when the elections came around. That's not to say that they did not stand. (No one much felt like cleaning up the mess the council had made when it was clear that helping earns you a ride in an ambulance).

I have started to talk about green issues again at The Green Moral and I have been talking about geek stuff and my general opinions like how much I loath the council and their workers when they are not up to the job (talking about that hello to the chap who serviced my boiler thanks for the advice that was dead handy). Anyway things of the geeky and opinionated nature are found at the oddly-named Fantastic Site of Lord Matt, Super Geek. Don't forget if you liked this blog come and see The Thanet Star - I think you might love it.

What follows is an archive of neglect that is officialy denied by TDC.

Now please forgive the fact that this photo was taken through a window welded half open but let me point out a few things about this image.
First that pole should be marked yellow and capped.
Second: that whole you can see in the wall (so I am told) is to secure the scafold to the building to stop it wobbling like a good'n. Forgive me for my lack of trust in our current cowboys but you'd have to pay me a hell of a lot of money to get me to consider going out on that wobbly platform. This is the second floor not some low level training camp.
Third: Notice the secure plank at the edge there. It's a long way down.
Fourth: It's fithly and a damn slipping hazzard
Fifth: That gap is so they can ignore all safty procedure and just drop rubbish down to the ground level.
sixth: yes it's a dust mask. Posted by Hello

This has been a documentation of the impact of District Council (TDC) contracting and sub-contracting standards.
