Well, things have gotten rather stale around here, haven’t they. Let me explain.

Turneround Margate was set up in 2007 to document the Margate regeneration process and provide a home to discussion.
Since that date, Turner Contemporary has made the leap to real physical foundations, the town has been the focus of countless articles, television reports and became host to two teams of wanna-be Apprentices.
New shops have opened, some to close down soon after and others which continue to attract business, the opening of the Harbour Arm development, and the establishment of many popular annual events (Thanet Pride, Kite Festival, Quad Bike Championships and the upcoming Festival of New Variety and Burlesque).

So what’s happened to the site? I can’t deny, it’s slipped from my attention, but my passion for Margate hasn’t. It’s for that reason that I would like to announce my plans to relaunch Turneround Margate into a new, more useful site that might better serve the regeneration efforts.

If you have any thoughts on what you’d like to see on the new site, or thoughts on the current state of regeneration in Margate, please leave a comment!
