Dreamland Fire (A Last Chance to Wake up)

As you may or may not know, I have often written on the Topic of Margate's Dreamland amusement park, and if you wish some background please click here or on the Label Dreamland at the bottom of this post.

Now I think it would only make matters worse, than they already, if those conversations that I expect you and your family friends or whatever will have had tonight, or even those overheard in Margate this evening, were published, the simple fact is we don't know what caused this tragic event.

This could be a catalyst for those who have listened to the disinformation concerning development Dreamland, to demand a more sypathetic future for the site, the council have promoted an unsupportable housing development, to occur on the site, even to the extent of the council getting involved with drawing up plans sympathetic and similar to those plans suggested by one of the properties owners.

I hope that this terrible act of God does not result in the listed Scenic Railway, being lost forever. Thanet council in my opinion have not taken into consideration the vast majority of local residents who would have liked to have seen the local planning authorities show a little backbone in their dealings and maybe have forced return the site to its historical use.

Things to watch out for in the future, the scenic railway not being rebuilt or being rebuilt and then moved to maximise speculative property development. Also look out for crocodile tears from our coffee swilling, property promoting politicians, who will no doubt mourn the passing of one of our last traditional assets.

Quick postcript Dreamland is more than some object, for rich developers, it happens part of us the public, our history and culture, a quick reaction from Mrs Me, who remembered fondly looking for er young men ( in the amusement park), well sorry to say she end up with a fat fifty year old F-wit, anyhow Thanet's mediocre politicians have done little protect us the public, it makes you wonder what they think the planning departments for?
