attn. North Thanet Conservatives. Re planning - who is it you need to get tough with? and why?

Help Available to Achieve Common Goals

This workshop is aimed at delegates who are responsible for facilitating a group of people objectively. It is ideal for those who want practical tips on how to deal with groups and the way in which they interact, on how to maximise a group’s potential and the right tools to use to generate and evaluate ideas within a group and help the decision making process and to design and manage an action plan.

What the Freemasons Did For Us

http://ugle.org.uk/about/book-of-constitutions 

There are some I have found very supportive . But unfortunately at least two planning committee members on the Conservative side are also Freemasons, and in 2009 they voted to have a fellow poorly Freemason parted from his home in Manston along with my mother, with whom he was in a new relationship with.  It beggars belief because surely that is a conflict of interest and should have been declared?  It follows to they would have known the poorly Freemasons ex wife? Perhaps they decided to take the side of the woman he left to be with my mother and voted as they did? It might have eased their conscience to make them out to be the villians of the peace?  

But the above could just be coincidence since we have long suspected a stronger motive. Strange how easy it was in 2009 for same Councillor/s to downgrade a 50+ static holiday caravan park extension planning application to a "minor development" onto prime agricultural land nearby - now converted to residential? Contrast this with the long pursuit of my elderly mother and poorly Freemason to demolish their home situated on former garden and business land? I mention this because ironically "protection of the countryside" has consistently been the argument used by them to justify their actions?

Sorry I Missed the Community Safety Meeting

Communication is something Local Councils could help local voluntary groups with. The trouble with that is, we might find we are not so divided after all?

I wonder if professionals would recommend the press or social media as a way of communicating with your team?

This practical and effective one-day course is aimed at those who are managing dysfunctional, non-performing teams. If you are dealing with a difficult team whose productivity is suffering as a result of team member behaviour, then this course is an ideal way in which to learn how to turn things around:-

Just in - Removal of Mature Promenade Hedges - Over the Weekend?

Attending  Ramsgate Neighbourhood Planning Workshops last year, it was uppermost in enough minds that diversity was a priority. Attendees also wanted what was left of our "sacred" or "nurturing" spaces maintained or enhanced, so I volunteered as a committee member because of experience and some expertise I felt I could offer. The steering group were asked for the list of many workshop comments, but a summary or "report" was issued instead, which in all fairness, looked a bit bias? The committee have not met for nearly a year now, arguments erupted about the over bearing influence of Councillors (one in particular) in our (peoples') process. It was also unhelpful some steering group members going to the local press about their interpretation of what was possibly meant by a "Gay Village"? taken, as it was, out of context. 

But we are where we are, but now we appear to have a situation whereby the opposite seems to be happening from what people said they thought they wanted? I.E. Established flora and fauna is being removed? Maybe it's to give the owners of seafront properties an unimpeded sea view perhaps?

But maybe all is not lost?  The appointed Secretary of the original committee is still around and he has everyone's contact details. The last thing we discussed was the urgent matter of  electing a Chairperson?  A difficult task perhaps, given we have relied for so long on Councillors to organise everything for us?

The Local Plan - knowing the beneficiaries of our efforts

I cannot see how I can begin to comment or help plan for perceived future local needs without actually meeting those whom need our cooperation?  Or at the very least be able to meet our Ward Councillors in groups to discuss these things, which they should have first hand knowledge and be passionate about, so that we may become enthused and have follow up meetings?   Form filling is a lonely business, especially if it's about benefiting people we are unlikely ever to meet?  After all this is about how we get on and interact with our neighbours, so unless a more proactive approach is adopted I will not be bothering.

A Dubious Last Minute Planning Variation

My email to TDC Chief Executive and Partners

Will Filming TDC Meetings Make a Difference - For Everyday Folk?

Or will the Culture of Self Interest and Indifference just Win the Day?

When farmers (linked by their association formed in the 1960's) spoke against my mother's proposed single dwelling  in 2009 (her having been encouraged to submit an application by planning officers), they all lied basically, by claiming to represent residents of her road. One was in his capacity as Chairman of Manston Council, Cllr Goodban, and Cllr Neville, in his capacity as Chairman of neigboring Monkton Parish Council (albeit at later application and appeals, and is a near neighbour of then Planning Committee Chairman, Ken Gregory, living in the same road in Monkton). The third, being Arthur Burbridge, who resents sharing a track with my mother.

I cannot overstate the significance of the backing TDC legal monitoring officer, Harvey Patterson, gave to these farmers and the Councillors backing them. Mr Patterson brazenly presented false minutes at the appeal hearing in 2009. Some of the Councillors voting on this matter as Parish or District members, were also Standards Board members who relied upon Harvey Patterson for "advice".
