A few pictures of Ramsgate and some thoughts on Ramsgate Harbour Arches

I did manage to get a longer walk around Ramsgate yesterday and take a few pictures, here are the first lot http://www.thanetonline.com/laptop111/id5.htm the second lot were of the pictures on The Great Wall o Ramsgate that I published yesterdayand the third lot here http://www.michaelsbookshop.com/111/

At the council’s latest list of commercial property, see http://www.thanet.gov.uk/business/regeneration/commercial_premises_list.aspx has several of the harbour arches listed with their rentals, I thought it a good time to photograph each individual arch.

Apart from the obvious usefulness of being able to which one is located where, for anyone wanting to rent one it also forms an historical record of the situation now.

Why on earth the council’s latest commercial property list is the November one is a subject for concern and raises the following questions:

I the list first circulated to a selected few and then made publicly available on the web after any choice pickings have been snapped up?

In these times when the council is apparently short of money, why does one of the few activates that they engage in that actually produces income for them have such a low priority that it only appears two months out of date?

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.
