Whilst we agree that some of those behaviours are extremely corrosive, we witnessed the poor behaviours of many other councillors during our visit. Barracking, bullying and talking over others are behaviours which also damage the council’s reputation. There are things that all councillors can and should do to set an example and improve the reputation of the council including listening respectfully to the contributions of others, avoiding the use of personal insults and involvement in councillor training and development. A change in behaviour will help to change your reputation."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25954340.post-27752832241228954912014-04-28T10:16:20.513+01:002014-04-28T10:16:20.513+01:00William, didn't you know that everyone in Than...William, didn't you know that everyone in Thanet is a fool according to Anon 21:51 who is really Tim Garbutt the isle's resident idiot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25954340.post-41196224936042873272014-04-28T09:46:45.829+01:002014-04-28T09:46:45.829+01:00See the fool still calls anyone who disagrees with...See the fool still calls anyone who disagrees with him, a fool. If TDC could easily force SFP to dispose of their lease why do you not think it has happened before. Even now TDC are investigating the legal position to try to terminate that lease, but, in the meantime, TDC cannot sell the site to anyone.<br /><br />As for Cardy, the locally based construction company are well known in Thanet, have carried out many developments and their directors are local people in the main, Who Cardy-Keegan are is one of life's mysteries, but if they were the ones offering to develop the site that could hardly be any improvement on SFP.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17927801279761727020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25954340.post-59209404093520211442014-04-28T08:06:26.857+01:002014-04-28T08:06:26.857+01:00Sorry "made by his own cancelkama should read...Sorry "made by his own cancelkama should read "made by his own Council Tony Flaighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15212662248741515725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25954340.post-42387011718753789572014-04-27T21:51:29.210+01:002014-04-27T21:51:29.210+01:00Michael Childs is the fool like you William who be...Michael Childs is the fool like you William who believes that Manston doesn't cause serious air pollution.

I am told that Canterbury firm Cardy offered to buy out SFP from the project. The deal apparently committed Cardy to paying TDC the full value of the site up front circa £3.6million.
