Dispersal zone

Police have been granted extra powers in parts of Herne Bay after reports of big groups fighting, kicking cars, intimidating pedestrians and hurling racist abuse. As part of the Safer Canterbury District Partnership, Kent Police and Canterbury council have designated Heron ward a ‘dispersal area’. Police can now make sure big groups of people break up, and once asked to leave the area people are not allowed to return within 24 hours.

According to the police large groups of youngsters, sometimes as many as 40 at a time, have been meeting up at weekends in the area. Police officers will also confiscate alcohol and any youngster found drunk will be escorted home. The parents or guardians of children involved will get a letter and may be visited by the local police. The new powers are likely to last for six months from April, including the summer months when the problem is usually worst.

The dispersal order will be in place in the High Street, William Street, Queen Street, King’s Road, Beach Street, Hanover Street and the William Street and King’s Road car parks. Police will also be travelling on trains and buses to monitor the youngsters, who are thought to also come from Whitstable and Canterbury.

I had fondly imagined that the police already had these kind of powers...

London Array connects to Thanet

The world’s largest wind farm, to be built off the coast of Thanet, will bring hundreds of new jobs to the Isle of Thanet. The team behind the London Array project has chosen Ramsgate port as the location for their new 1,800sq m operations and maintenance headquarters. The move to the two-storey centre means employment for 20 office staff and 70 technicians. If approved, the building will also be used as warehouse space for storing parts for the 275 wind turbines.

The project is the second of its kind to come to the isle following the Thanet Offshore Windfarm currently being built off the coast of Broadstairs. Construction and maintenance of the Array centre is also expected to generate up to 200 jobs through extra trade for isle businesses and workers such as taxi drivers, hotels, pubs and fuel suppliers. Thanet council leader Sandy Ezekiel said:

“London Array is compiling a directory of local firms that can work with contractors. We stand to gain an awful lot from the project.”

A launch party for the directory is expected to take place in the next six weeks. During a private meeting with councillors in Cliffsend last week, London Array project director Richard Rigg said the company was in talks with Thanet College to introduce a series of specialised training courses aimed at recruiting young talent from the isle. It is believed these courses will be in mechanical and electrical engineering. Cllr Ezekiel, who was at the meeting, said:

“We are pushing Thanet forward as a hub for renewable energy. Construction of Thanet Offshore Windfarm is almost complete and London Array Thanet is very much at the forefront of renewable energy.”

London Array is made up of a consortium of Dong Energy, which has built half the world’s wind farms; E.ON, a leading power and gas company; and Masdar Initiative, which is Abu Dhabi’s leading investor in renewable energy. When complete, the £2billion project will sit to the north of the smaller Thanet Offshore Windfarm. Mayor of Ramsgate David Green said:

“It’s early days but it seems very positive. A lot of the deal has yet to be completed, however, it is good news they identified a site here in Ramsgate.”

London Array will also build a large floating pontoon creating mooring space for six, 12-person vessels.

Where the Wind Farms are

It's easy to get mixed up between wind farms, what with them springing up like huge marine mushrooms around the coast of Kent. So here's a map. The Kentish Flats wind farm is an array of 30 turbines arranged in a 5x6 diamond, about 5 miles north of Herne Bay. The London Array, about 30 miles north-east of Herne Bay and occasionally visible, is under construction - 50 turbines up and running when I last looked. This will be the world's largest wind farm when completed, unless someone beats to them to the finishing line presumably. The Thanet Offshore Windfarm off Broadstairs is apparently nearing completion.

Seal cruelly exiled

Unreasonably harsh treatment for the seal, I think. Nervous young thing just wriggles up onto the beach for a bit peace and quiet, and maybe clear his throat. Some odd creature with long dangly, gangling limbs lollops up and surprises him. Gets bitten. Well, he's hardly going to defend himself with those stumpy little flippers. What happens next? Extraordinary rendition to Fairlight Cove, the Guantanamo Bay of East Sussex. Even as you read this, those moist sad eyes are peering out from the top of an orange jumpsuit, somewhere near Hastings.



The railings on the roof

"We had a problem with women jumping off the roof" - a phrase I never thought I would read.

---

Emergency railings have been erected to stop people jumping off the roof of the Kings Hall. The city council has cordoned off part of the roof nearest the beach with a six-feet high cast-iron fence after a spate of death-defying incidents. At least two women have plunged off roof. One was found unconscious on the concrete below outside the theatre's entrance during a tea dance and had to be air-lifted to hospital. There have also been incidents of vandals throwing stones from the roof - which was once used as a band stand. One youth lost control of his skate-board which smashed into the rear window of a Ford Ka owned by one of the hall's staff. Tony Farrow, who runs Kings Caterers and books bands into the hall, said:

"The council has done a first class job. We had a problem with women jumping off the roof and vandalism. The vandalism has stopped since this fence went up. It is better for us and better for customers. It is a good thing."

Housewife Jill Smith, 46, who lives opposite the railings in Beacon Hill said:

"I've seen groups of five or six kids playing up there and doing tricks on their skateboards. It was worth putting the fencing up to protect them from hurting themselves. It doesn't look as nice as it did but at least the railings are the same old Victorian style like the rest of the area. I think the council has done the best they could to stop the problem."

But not everyone agreed. Another neighbour who did not want to be named said:

"I think it looks horrible. It looked so nice when there was a bandstand there in the old days. But now it looks like a prison. It doesn't do much good for Herne Bay's image having more fences and restrictions. It's not going to sort out the root of the problem. If kids want to get over that fence, they will just climb over it with their skateboards. In my opinion the main problem is kids drinking. They congregate all the way along here at all hours of the day and night. Why don't the authorities do something about them?"

Peter Vickery-Jones, the city council's executive member for property services, said:

"There is a high health and safety risk with the front section of roof on the Kings Hall. The existing railings were in a delicate condition and quite low. Young people have been jumping onto the kitchen roof below, things fall from the roof onto the promenade and the area suffers from extensive general vandalism. Skateboarders have to be responsible for their own actions but in this case we had to do something to make sure they are safe. We don't want to restrict everywhere kids go but they were damaging the roof and could have hurt themselves. Unfortunately, the dangers meant we could not leave it that way any longer. The vast majority of the roof area remains open and available for people to use."

He said ward councillors had been warned about the plans in the summer and there had been no objections. He added:

"We have a duty to protect people wherever possible and feel these measures are required for this reason."

125 decibels is OK, they say

Explosions that rocked homes around the district did not exceed noise levels, according to military bosses. Despite dozens of complaints from families across the east Kent coast and inland as far as Sturry on Wednesday and Thursday, managers at the Shoeburyness military testing range said the work was within the limits they set themselves.

Claire Scotter, spokesman for QinetiQ, the company that runs the Essex range, said: "We try really hard to limit noise, whilst enabling the MOD to conduct the trials and training that it requires.

"The site is in operation all year round and days when activity may be perceived off site are relatively few."

The base is used to train students with the Army School of Ammunition who will later be sent to war zones to help diffuse roadside bombs and other devices. Managers set the noise limit at 125 decibels, although the limit by law is 140 decibels, and check wind speed and other atmospheric conditions before going ahead with trials.



Sell Museum to pay for Pier?

The report from Humberts Leisure angers the Museum campaigners, and doesn't please the Pier campaigners.

---

Debate welcome on Pier future

Herne Bay’s Museum and Kings Hall should be sold off to pay for the redevelopment of town’s pier, a new report has suggested. The document, which was written for the city council by consultants Humberts Leisure at a cost of £10,000 reveals few developers are interested in working on the pier and suggests local firms may be the only hope.

The consultants recommend demolishing the pavilion building and using the empty pier structure as a performance or events space. A cafe, shops and entertainment venue could replace the hall, and collections in the museum could be relocated to the new pier.

The report said the museum building may be worth as much as £200,000. Council spokesman Rob Davies stressed no decision has been taken as yet to accept the report’s recommendations - which are likely to outrage campaigners still reeling from their failed fight to stop funding cutbacks to the museum. Campaigner Linda O’Carroll said:

“This suggests the council had no intention of saving Herne Bay museum and their review of its future counts for nothing. But we will continue to fight and at the moment we are investigating a lottery grant to help secure its future.”

The consultants admit redeveloping the pier will be expensive, and the council may need to find new ways of raising cash to fund the project - such as providing more beach huts along the seafront. Other suggestions include running an indoor children’s play centre and a Victorian-themed children’s ride, offering studios to artists and creating a water sports base. Proposals for a cinema, bowling alley and housing were ruled out. The consultants did not rule out connecting the two ends of the pier with an aerial ride of cable car-like pods.

The report concludes council should explore a long-term vision for the pier, “with a view to the reconstruction or restoration of the pier to its original length, or in a new form, in the longer term”. Councillors have agreed to move the sports facilities to Herne Bay High School and the Herons Leisure Centre site. Cllr Peter Lee, who chairs the town's regeneration panel, said:

“I welcome the publication of this report as the next step towards the regeneration of the pier. Subject to the relocation of the sports facilities, the report demonstrates that the pier has a significant future as an important visitor attraction at the heart of the town’s seafront. The report sets out positive and realistic options for consideration and I look forward to the debate in the town before the council takes any decisions.”

£560k to improve the park

PLANS drawn up for a £560,000 Memorial Park makeover have finally. been revealed by the city council.  They include new public loos, CCTV and a £125,000 lighting system. Refurbished changing rooms and a £5,000 cycle path also form part of the long-awaited project. The plans, thrashed out after months of talks with the Memorial Park Working Group, are likely to be given the green light by the Executive.

But the three-year project is already under way, with a £150,000 interactive play park due to open next month. The council hopes to have the £50,000 toilet block installed by the end of the year, with the dated CCTV replaced by two dome-shaped cameras at a cost of £60,000. New lighting will be last in line. The old tennis pavilion has already been demolished and will be replaced by a seating area. It has also been suggested charges be introduced in the park’s free car park.

The council has put up £500,000 for the project, with a £50,000 grant for the play park and £10,000 from developers covering the rest. Bay councillor Peter Lee said:

“While we’re strapped for cash in the revenue budget, we felt it was important to push forward with our capital projects and not put long- term developments at risk. The work we’re doing in the Memorial Park is essential for the regeneration of Herne Bay. I hope people will be very pleased as what we’re doing fits the criteria of what they have said is important. We’ll continue to develop the plan over the next year to try and provide the best for them.”

Herne Bay in Bloom

Britain in Bloom is one of the largest horticultural campaigns in Europe with the year round aim of creating a more beautiful Britain. Entrants compete against each other within their area and then selected communities are nominated to compete against each other in the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) finals. Britain in Bloom encourages all to make the UK a more beautiful place to live through imaginative planting, cleanliness, sustainability and community effort.

With its beautiful seafront flowerbeds, and lovely parks, Herne Bay is frequently quoted on BBC radio as one of the sunniest towns in Britain. In 2009, Herne Bay won a silver gilt award in the regional South and South East ln Bloom Coastal category and a silver award in Britain in Bloom. This year we want to do even better and achieve gold.

How does it benefit Herne Bay?

• It provides a welcome boost to the local economy;
• Helps to make long-term improvements to the local environment;
• Increases civic pride;
• Regenerates run-down areas; and
• Encourages the community to work together to improve their home town.

The In Bloom Committee (a group of local people, sponsored by Serco and supported by CCC and KCC) will be leading this year's campaign and entry into the regional In Bloom competition. They will be hosting a local gardening competition in Herne Bay and looking for help from local businesses, schools and community groups to ensure Herne Bay really is fully in bloom to welcome the judges and visitors to the town.

If you are a local business, group or resident and would like to help, contact Colleen Ashwin-Kean for more information:
