Thanet Star - actively improving Thanet one idea at a time

A week in Thanet

It has been an "interesting" week with TDC getting one last kick in as the Audit Commision is axed, Thanet fishermen were given an quota increase and a Thanet College lecturer took a deliberate overdose after feeling that complaining would only loose him his job. Job loss being a huge fear all over Kent as Joblessness figures continue to climb.

The New Statsman gives Broadstairs a (not entirely fair) mention, however it's not all bad news for Broadstairs The cricket club is inches away from promotion to Division One, The worlds smallest solar cinema showing short films about Thanet (It has a maximum capacity of 8 adults or 12 children) and news that will no doubt anger drinking water protesters that Pegwell Bay's water is heavily polluted from road run off.

Closer to home, for me, news has not been great of late. Thanet is, without a doubt, in need of some good news.
