Pleasurama Thanet district council the funfair and the horrible boards     |     home                                                    Pleasurama Thanet district council the funfair and the horrible boards The funfair is back the owners tell me they will stay until the end of August the owners also tell me that they are receiving an enthusiastic welcome from local people and help with promoting the fair from the surrounding businesses. As you can see they are putting the finishing touches to putting it up and it will be open later today 1.08.2007 They will be living in trailers on the site so there will be no problems with vandalism. Unfortunately at the moment all is not well the fair owners tell me that council officers are making things difficult for them the two maters giving them the most concern are. 1 The extra surfacing that TDC had apparently promised for the site hasn't been done, the fair owners tell me that the they have had some of it done at their own expense in order to get started. 2 Council officers have refused to remove the rest of the hideous fragmented, damaged fencing with its paint peeling off, furthermore when the fair owners asked if they could remove it themselves and stack it at the back of the site they were told that they couldn't. I would like to point out that after all these years with Ramsgate's leisure facilities diminishing the council ought to actively welcoming and supporting any efforts to reverse this trend.
