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.

Happy new Year

Happy new year to all that have been following the development that documents the utter failure of the council to maintain what little house stock they do have.

The photo log will continue shortly.

For those that have emailed us asking if the council ever got back to us on any issue raise I have to say no. They continue to accuse us of anti social behavioure (helpping the niegbours, cleaning up after the grass cutters, removing litter and weeds, reporting problems and not backing down over abuse issues), they have however made some mention of the standards they claim to work to and now it is a matter of identifying chapter and verse the short falls an publishing a public report.

The abusive spammer (one or two of the councils (monkey faced) builders) has seeming gone and the abuse by the seemingly corrupt police officer seems also to be over.

It's amazing what a little advice from a solicitor can get you these days.

Expect more depressing pictures of broken gutters and over full bins shortly.

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