O/T Obscene - That Turner Thing Again - KCC & TDC


Cookie

Recommended Posts

"Once they start you can't stop them" Christ yes, they do go on. And far too often its all filler. Nothing substantial in those speeches...it just sounds good. Its usually complete bullox.

 

Im guessing the bar is bar 26? Troubles kicked off there before. The problem with the clock tower at the moment is that it wont be finished for a while. Hopefully when its finished itll work better. It just takes time to sort the roundabout out.

 

Im pretty sure the Lights wont go back up, unless the public really want it or its found to be clearly dangerous having a roundabout. Dont think its gonna happen though. Dont fret cookie.

The new roundabout has already been nicknamed the "Margate Mayhem" at KCC, lets wait and see what happens when its finished and all the pedestrian crossing lights are complete and installed, hopefully, it won't be the predicted mayhem that they think it will!!

OK chaps I'm back despite the best efforts of the administrator to baffle me with computer science concerning log ons and passwords.

 

Just to let you know JJ that the lottery fund has NOTHING to do with the Art Centre and any shortfall will be made up by KCC.

A new thing that confuses me is the comment fom KCC Legal Dept saying they have a team dealing with the "unique" situation with the Centre. What are they talking about and why take a whole team bearing in mind that the legalprofession charge about £150 PER HOUR. KCC staff taking KCC money?????

 

At the end of the day KCC are at fault here not Thanet Council with the later being either misled, misguided or in league with something more serious.

Am sure it is the KCC at fault here though I do believe the land was sold to them by TDC. Please correct me if I am wrong on this. They also knew why they were selling the land.

As regards the Adscenes today about the concerns on the rising costs,it states that funding for such a project,should it not come to us from the ARTS council would be given elsewhere & that an arts centre WILL be built no matter where. Well what I say is that if we cant have the dosh for other more important things for the area then let someone else have it..and the £1.5m running costs/loss per year to go with it.

Am sure he is James but I dont know him from Adam, so I will treat & speak to him just as I would to anyone else that I meet for the first time or dont know, and that is courteously.

Just because he is a councillor it dosent make him any more important in my eyes.

Cookie Thanet Council did NOT sell the land to KCC...they GAVE it to them. Confirmed by KCC themselves.

Keep going on the petition. I have forwarded the link to my former colleagues in London who all follow Margate because I ensured they knew about us plus have been updated on the Turner Centre farce

The land was transferred to KCC at nil cost along with lease rights of the land. For that TDC doesnt have to pay for it. KCC will. Ive read a report on it and the agreement is deliberately done so that if anything should go wrong, TDC wont pay for it. If work doesnt start by a particular time, the land simply gets handed back to TDC with no cost to TDC.

Going back to the turner thing i think it will be a complete waste of space fancy putting an art gallery on the seafront who thought of that idea??? bright sparks!!!!

 

As for the westwood x i walk through there every day as i work for the insurance co behind it and some of the shops are ok but there are a couple that are always empty, now thats a waste.

 

I am really glad that Margate got the ground it would of been a great shame to of lost our footie club, and your all right how bad would it of been if the turner centre had been built and we had lost our club!!!!!

Cookie: thats exactly why TDC signed the agreement so that TDC would not foot the bill. You have said that the Council shouldnt have given the land to KCC. But if the land wasnt handed over TDC would have had to have paid for the TC not KCC.

 

TMO: If the TC does fail the land will be used for "alternate use". Not sure what that means, but that site wouldnt be used for residential use. It is too close to the water. The TC wouldnt be safe for residential use.

 

If no alternate use can be found everything would go back to TDC with the exception of maintenance control over the sea-bed...that would still be the job of KCC.

 

Where has this figure of 1 1/2 million per year come from? Ive not seen that figure anywhere.
