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.

Council maintain high weed levels efficiently.

Perhaps the councils green area maintenence people should be renamed the weed trimmers. After all they come round and hackishly "strim" what is left of the grass and weeds (mostly weeds) and then blow the cuttings about abit with big motorised blowers.

Then they leave the cuttings to rot over the grass which unsupprisingly dies.

In it's place weeds spring up.

From time to time they come back and use the strimmers on the weeds to restart this cycle and murder any lawn that might be left.

What, is the point?

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