Kent in Manston land grab

According to Kent on Sunday website, the county council have just spent £5.35 million on purchasing Kent International Business Park at Manston.

The justification for the purchase according to Graham Gibbens, KCC Cabinet Member for Regeneration, as quoted is "There was a real threat that the Kent International Business Park could have been bought by a speculative investor, who would land bank it for a number of years.

Graham Gibbons is county council member for Canterbury City North East that almost makes him a local. At times I wonder why we have Thanet District Council with the growing influence or interference from Maidstone with might as well send all our money, straight to Maidstone.

The report does not mention, whether they bothered to consult with Thanet District Council or Sandy Ezekiel still I suppose they will do what they want and consult us later.
