A message to The Palace of Maidstone

Considering that vast amounts of our taxes go to KCC I think we get very little in return, OK we get average schooling, police, fire, ambulance service,etc. But what else, we did see the leader of the council Paul Carter a few weeks ago offering us a present of the new improved Turner centre, a lot of the money for this project not actually coming from KCC but other organisations.

It seems to me that all the good stuff, the icing on the cake, goes fairly exclusively to those that live in Maidstone. Now I realise that Maidstone is rather an a ugly town, with little to distinguish it from other ugly towns. What the residents of the Maidstone area seen to get in return though, is the vast bureaucracy which is KCC. Be it bods beavering away in County Hall, Springfield, West Malling and Oakwood house.

Now I personally want my money back, I feel certain that were our local county government to be based in Thanet that our roads would be better, our schools would be better, and almost certainly at incomes would be higher.

I think it is time that we thanatonians stormed the Palace of Maidstone and took control!
