SEE THE EVIDENCE OF NEGLECT AND DECLINE IN CANTERBURY

Tory County Council negligent over £50 million Iceland losses

The incompetent Conservative administration at Kent County Council has been branded 'negligent' by the Audit Commission for failing to protect council taxpayers' money.

In September 2006, the Council's own internal audit department made a series of recommendations to improve internal financial controls. But many of these recommendations were never implemented. Despite the fact that KCC had been warned against further investment in Icelandic banks, they continued to pour millions in to failing Icelandic banks. What a disgrace!

Thanington Rec Saved!

Despite Having Claimed the Opposite Before Christmas, Canterbury City Council Have Finally Come Clean and Admitted That Their Crazy Scheme To Concrete Over Thanington Rec Has After All Been Scrapped.

They say that a week is along time in politics, but for the confused Burghers of Canterbury City Council it's an absolute age!

That's clear to see, because it is only just over 7 working days since Canterbury City Council released a statement denying claims by Lib Dem leader Alex Perkins that their plans to concrete over popular Thanington Recreation Ground were dead in the water.

Now, in a humiliating U-Turn the council has had to admit they were wrong and the Lib Dem leader was right all along!

The news that the city council have backed-off has been greeted with delight throughout Thanington. "The Thanington Rec is at the heart of the local community and saving it from plans to turn it into a car park has been a real success for local people" said local Lib Dem County Cllr Martin Vye. "This threat has been hanging over Thanington for nearly a year, and despite total opposition from sports clubs and local residents, the Conservative administration at the City Council had refused to drop the plans. But with their own consultants telling them their scheme is a impractical, the Conservatives have been forced into a humiliating U-turn."
