South Eastern Road Ramsgate

Having spent a large part of yesterday trying to make sense of and reply to the correspondence relating to my TDC complaint, see pervious post. I am now wondering how long it will take them to have courtesy to confirm they received it as I asked them to do, I copied the email to the chief executive and the leader so one would expect something.

Anyway what annoys me most is that it is time I could have spent working on local history publications and publishing local pictures online. There is an irony in that while the council are wasting so much money figuring out peculiar responses to such a simple complaint they are also doing there best to destroy two of the most cost effective local historic tourist attractions, Crampton Tower and the historic ships in Ramsgate Harbour.

One of the scarcest and most useful types of local pictures are those that show ordinary streets and buildings around the town, like the one above, the ones of the harbour and seafront outnumber them by hundreds to one.

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
