I will remind you of the numbers, 25 labour, 24 tory, 3 tig and 3 other independents.

I cant see a great deal has been done by TDC in the last 8 years to get Thanet on its feet again. KCC and the Arts council have put in millions to try and kick start the regeneration but Margate high street and the Dreamland site together with some very grim parts of Ramsgate dont how any signs that the tory led TDC was achieving anything.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
