What Do I Know?

Tree massacre?

As you can see from the picture Albion Gardens is looking a bit on bald side.

Shallow Grave?

The strange and unexpected progress continues with the Pleasurama Development, instead of the pile boring we expected the shallow concrete pad foundations shown in the picture are going in.

Rock on?

The developer seems cautiously scraping away at the chalk near to the bottom of the cliff wall, although there don’t seem to be any signs of foundations there, it does look like solid undisturbed chalk.

What I can’t seem to get is any information about what is actually going on with the site and frankly all may be well there, but until my answers come back telling me why the schedule has changed, the foundation method has changed, why the cliff top drain is still blocked and so on, I remain sceptical.

From a purely historical perspective there can be no doubt that the solid chalk base of the site must be a considerable distance below where the shallow concrete foundations are going in. The cliff before cliff wall was put on would have been formed by erosion from the sea and in some time in the distant past the cliff would have extended down to the low tide level.

Lost for words?

Sorry about the lack of blog posting over the last week, I don’t think I was in the mood or something and there has been plenty of interest on the other blogs, I may ramble on about that later.

A mild meander of the blogs suggests that the Mark Nottingham Labour group spat is still underway, documents leaking out like on Bignews at http://bignewsmargate.blogspot.com/2011/03/labour-can-they-sort-out-northwood-mess.html or even more bizarrely at Thanet Star

Here a local IT expert has published more revelations and then deleted them, although he must know that the nature of the internet is that once something is published it doesn’t go away so the cache remains at

What all of this means and how it will effect the forthcoming elections is a bit beyond me, one thing is certain trying to take it out of the public domain once it has been there is just plain weird.

Pondering this I went out for a walk and took some more pictures, there are some of the London Array building and a few of me trying to be artistic with the camera at http://www.michaelsbookshop.com/311/id15.htm
