The Conservative Group at Thanet District Council welcomes
the decision of Cabinet to accept the recommendations of the Pleasurama Task
and Finish Group and Overview and Scrutiny Panel and to terminate the Royal
Sands development contract.
Group Leader, Cllr Bob Bayford said: “We welcome this
decision. It does, however, come over a
year and a half after I and my Conservative colleagues on Overview and Scrutiny
opposed the handing over of the site freehold to the developer. This opposition was met with scorn by the
Cabinet, including Ramsgate councillors Alan Poole, David Green and Rick
Everitt. It also follows the huge
public outcry in Ramsgate and the Friends of Ramsgate Seafront campaign.
Legal proceedings are only just commencing and there is some
way to go, but finally, thanks to the work of the Task and Finish Group,
Scrutiny and the continued efforts of the people of Ramsgate, we can begin to
look forward to a new start for the site.”
