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.

Meet the faces behind the neglect

Given the shear ability of council members to ignore us I have chosen to take the radical step of placing their photos and short profiles on this site. All information is already publicly available on the council website.

This is Ian Gregory he is the Conservative representing Dane Valley (the area in question). He is a member of the Standards Committee and he works at the Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother Hospital as Estate Manager. He lists building development as a special interest.

He lives in East Northdown Close in Cliftonville. His full address is available on the council website which details that he does not meet with people (or it does not detail that he does - you choose).

This man is Shaun C Connell he is the Labour member representing Dane Valley and his activities are listed as member of the Licensing Board.

He lives in Northdown Road in Margate and can be reached by phone on 0871 347682. He has no email address according to the website nor meeting times, nor interests. I'm guessing this man will not act in any real way for us.

I'm sure his membership of the Labour party means something to him so I've listed a member of said party that can be reached by email in the hope that a message can be passed on.

This is Linda Aldred she is a Labour member representing Cliftonville West. She is apparently a member of the (lack of) Planning Committee and the Shadow Cabinet.

She says she enjoys living in Thanet and is committed to ensuring the ongoing regeneration of the area, but quite frankly I fail to see the evidence of this around here.

She lives in Dumpton Park Drive which is in Broadstairs. The full address is on the Thanet Council website. you can email here at this address: mailto:llaldred@yahoo.co.uk?subject=council or via this address committee@thanet.gov.uk. In the event that you wish to speak with her she very kindly puts aside a whole day each month to meet people by appointment only at this address: 4 Northdown Road Cliftonville. CT9 2RW on the first Saturday of every month.

Ask them about the building standards the thugs the council employs use.

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