Rumours have reached the old Eastcliff lugholes that this knackered old Victorian eyesore, er, ice store down by our lovely Royal Harbour here in the Millionaires' Playground has been earmarked for the axe. And when I say 'axe' I don't mean a flogging off like Albion House, Northdown House or parts of Viking Bay. No, I hear it's destined for the full ball and chain job. As far as I can make out, it's only claim to fame is that it currently houses the Kent and Essex Fisheries Committee, whatever that is.Ah, what a relief to return to important and weighty affairs of state after all that frothy nonsense across the Atlantic!

surely they are not knocking it down and then failing to replace it with anything? Just think how many rabbit hutch flats could be squeezed into the space....
Nige
Not sure of my ground so might get shot down in flames.
Could this be because empty business property is at charged full rates and it is cheaper to reduce it to a bomb site?
like most other things TDC 'owns' its a case of knocking it down before it falls down, its structure is failing,,
The proposal is to knock it down, and(wait for it) build 6 houses. (or I should say grant themselves planning permission for 6 house and then sell the site).
Its part of a bigger plan to grant themselves planning permission for housing on most of the Western Hard (where the boats sre pulled out for repair at the momment.
In my opinion, piecemeal development of this site is the most short sighted vandalism. There are development opportunities on the western seafront, but they should be part of an overall plan.
Good news for Manston I think
This is outrageous I do not recall seeing any consultation about this.
are they getting it de-listed then?
You saw all the consultation you're going to get in the voting booth.
Do wake up!
I don't think it's listed actually 9.55
If I hear that phrase "development opportunities" again, I will commit murder.
Councillor Green, have you voiced your objections to this earlier and in public?
