Yes it is intended to breathe life into the town but I think to do that we need the housing developments so that more people are there all year round who need the town facilities.There seems to be too much emphasis on seasonal trade in the town generally which means it is pretty dead October to April. I love the place all year round and I think if the facilities improve (to match the influx of new residents)it can only be a good thing.<BR/><BR/> As for the Nayland Rock plan well words escape me. Hopes of regeneration do not sit easily with the degeneration such a silly plan would lead to.<BR/><BR/>Keep up your great work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25954340.post-10314757328742663282007-07-05T13:56:00.000+01:002007-07-05T13:56:00.000+01:00Look.loads of people in Margate cared about the st...Look.loads of people in Margate cared about the state the Nayland Rock had become largly due to it's greedy very rich owner.he does not give a stuff about margate,only making as much money he can make.I can remember when it was a thriving hotel-and it could be now with all the generation that is starting to take place in margate.Investors are lokking to find sites for a hotel and this would be a fantastic opportunity to bring this splendid building back to its proper usage,a hotel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25954340.post-54160846357049620052007-07-02T20:25:00.000+01:002007-07-02T20:25:00.000+01:00Just a thought...did anyone care about the nayland...Just a thought...<BR/><BR/>did anyone care about the nayland Rock and its historical importance to Margate before the recent news of use by Migrants?<BR/>I think not.<BR/>I know for a fact that if it was not used for one purpose or another it would have crumbled into the sea along with many of Margates forgotten and neglected buildings.<BR/>I have worked at the Nayland Rock hotel with asylum Seekers and I also am a tax payer so I can see it from 2 sides. <BR/>migrant's have stayed at the nayland for almost 5 years now, did anyone really take a great deal of notice before the recent news?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25954340.post-17225247065466468872007-07-02T10:13:00.000+01:002007-07-02T10:13:00.000+01:00Very well said regarding the 'regeneration' of Mar...Very well said regarding the 'regeneration' of Margate big news, although we have to realize that its developers and big business which really run things, they have the best liars sorry lawyers and chums in the right departments at their beck and call!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25954340.post-74899647932137009172007-06-30T09:44:00.000+01:002007-06-30T09:44:00.000+01:00Yes i agree with you tony but we must all unite an...Yes i agree with you tony but we must all unite and stop the nayland rock becoming a centre for failed asylum seekers.sandy is right on this one-it is totally the wrong place and will ruin any hope of regeneration for margate.if as is said gatwick is the airport that will be used then it makes sense to hold them nearer gatwick.this cannot be allowed to happen people will be too scared to use our lovely beaches and new investors wont invest.we are just on the turning point of regeneration....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25954340.post-60987187508438056812007-06-28T09:57:00.000+01:002007-06-28T09:57:00.000+01:00you can't carpet amusment parksyou can't carpet amusment parksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
