Thanet District Council have been compelled to allow live exports to resume.
The
BBC reported 18 hours ago that the
temporary suspension of live animal exports from the Port of Ramsgate has been overturned by the High Court
.
Like wise
Farmers Weekly reported the story saying that the move was
welcomed by farmers who are preparing to supply thousands of sheep to France for the Muslim festival of Eid.
Thanet District Council are expected to launch an appeal and it is also reported that there may be compensation sought from the council for lost earnings during the ban.

There is a known bug with the Thanet Directory where the category links are not working. This is a fault with the URL parser / builder which doesn't cope well with custom language keys. I did not write it and I am working on a replacement.
Everything else should be fully operational.
I've been adding new items to the
Directory of Everything in Thanet. Keep the reviews and votes coming in and I'll keep adding items.
