A short update, but an exciting one none the less.  Thanet Council have voted unanimously to demand the rebuilding of the Scenic Railway, deciding it’s restoration must should be made a legal requirement.

This is very encouraging news indeed - it’s rare for councils to commit like this  - TDC have said they think it is reasonable to expect the coaster to be repaired and operational by Easter 2009.

Members of the Save Dreamland Campaign were in attendance at Wednesday’s meeting, and have begun to post their reactions to the news on the campaign forum.

Following his last presentation on 18th June, David Chipperfield will be presenting the latest T.C. designs at 6:30pm on Tuesday 16th October 2007 at the Theatre Royal, Margate.

It will be interesting to see how the design has progressed since the last presentation, but if you can’t make it, you can be sure that we’ll cover all the developments here.

As always, these events are extremely popular, so booking is essential.

Polling Stations (and in Cliftonville even an Olling Station) opened across the country this morning, with about 39 million people entitled to vote in the local elections. The number of visitors to local blogs is proof that a growing number of people care about Thanet, so take a little time to vote today, and have your say in how this are done.

And just a quick apology for the lack of updates recently, they will resume shortly!
