My attempts learn about the Pleasurama project have lead me into a dialogue with Thanet District Council about their website and the way they pass on correspondence to councillors. Click on the links above to read the correspondence.

prompt replies
The difficulty here is since I don't know who has received the email I don't know if its lack of common courtesy or failure to contact that is the reason why so few have replied.

Hi Michael,
I saw the BBC midday news so I guess I now know as much about it as everyone else!
I understand that Dave Green is asking the Chief Executive (of TDC) questions about the roof level / finish and the cliff repairs etc.
I have been concerned about the access route to the building site and have had many fruitless discussions with KHS. I believe the Developers are now going to use the seafront road (Harbour Parade) for access. Drawings I have show roundabouts at both ends of the Pleasurama site. Marina Road (the slope) is not suitable for heavy traffic. (I feel Harbour Parade is not really suitable either!)
I was not aware that the TDC website links were not functioning.
Regards,
Alan.

Thank you for your prompt response. I will reply personally to each email over the next few days.

My main point however is that a council officer has presumably received my email to you, an email that you evidently wished to receive, and has not passed it on to you.

Even at this point I have not received confirmation that my email has been received and forwarded from committee@thanet.gov.uk so I don't know if I have contacted any of the councillors that I haven't had a reply from.

Kind regards Michael Child

Thanks for your email,
I am not in the slightest bit suprised that the TDC website is not
functioning correctly again, the IT dept seem to be incapable of even the
simplest task with out making an enormous mess of it. I will contact the IT
dept tommorrow, probably by telephone or maybe a personal visit to pass
comments again about the appaling service provided to both Members and the
public, I see little point in emailing!!!
Insofar as pleasurama is concerned you are again correct about 'an
announcement' and the information you have is more than elected Members
have.
regards,
Mike Harrison.
