Westwood Cross campaigners could learn from Wye!
Thanet is not the only area of Kent that is subject to unwanted housing development. For some reason and I can only assume that it is money driven, Imperial College wish to ruin an area of outstanding natural beauty, with their rather shabby science park.

As a focus for objectors to Imperial Colleges development plans, campaigners against this vandalism have set up a website http://save-wye.org/

I had the opportunity recently to ask the leader of the Kent council Paul Carter whether he was still in favour of development at Wye, and unfortunately the answer was yes despite the fact that Ashford, Thanet have that land to spare. This science park stuff is I believe a misnomer, and just excuse as in the case of Wye to build thousands of houses for vast profits.

I understand there is a science park at Sittingbourne which has existed for several years, and as yet has failed to match the hype of any of these developments.

Still I understand that in addition to the Westwood Cabbage Patch Housing Estate, a new cinema and leisure complex is about to be built according to Thanet life blogsite (and this is something I would support having tried to watch a film at Christmas in freezing conditions).
