A Letter to the KM Editor 29th April 2008

Written by Guy Voizey on Thu 1st May 2008

In the Daily Telegraph dated April 29, the columnist Liz Hunt described her walk along the Crab and Winkle Line from Canterbury to Whitstable. As well as pointing out how poorly Canterbury City Council deals with fly-tipping and graffiti, she makes a general point about how our seaside resorts are under threat from local authorities.

She could not be more accurate. When the Tories set the council budget a couple of months ago, they withdrew funding for the Tourist Information Centre in Whitstable. This will probably result in the Centre's closure. How that's supposed to support the town, I don't know.
