And there 1992 survey shows apparently the target end about 12 feet forward of the crisp white chalk face photod three years later.<BR/><BR/>Clearly David Bragg's erosion over the years relates to erosion over no more than three years.<BR/><BR/>If we multiple the height of the chalk face by the width of the chalk face and the 12 feet difference between the 1992 OS recorded position and the 1995 recorded position then that seems to equate to the volume of chalk spoil that David Bragg's erosion over the years had somehow transported and dumped in nearby woodland.<BR/><BR/>IF the explanation for all this was not in fact "Erosion over the years" then what was the position re TDC Planning Enforcement concerning unauthroized earthworks at a range in their jurisdiction.<BR/><BR/>The Planning Officer appears to have taken early retirement at about the time the TDC Standards Cttee sat and a councillor Neville Hudson (Chairing the meeting) somehow did not present the evidential photos to the Standards Cttee.<BR/><BR/>I was looking at some range records, in my possession, the other day. Oooh there is a name.<BR/><BR/>Similar if not identical to the Head of a TDC Dept.<BR/><BR/>Oooh and another name, bit unusual this one, same name as a hotelier member of North Thanet tories and a recipient of grant aid from said TDC.<BR/><BR/>Oooh here is another name. Same as a police sergeant.<BR/><BR/>Oooh and two names the same as two police constables.<BR/><BR/>Chalk that up as coincidence then shall we ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-55871508805164798902008-05-30T14:28:00.000+01:002008-05-30T14:28:00.000+01:00As you can see from the photo it was tipping down,...As you can see from the photo it was tipping down, so I only ventured a few feet from the car door I'm afraid.<BR/><BR/>If what you've reported in the past about the whole thing being almost without foundations is still the case, though, it surely won't be long before it all crumbles again and the scaffolding has to go back up toute de suite!Richard Eastcliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10514972891192411470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-80597529954784993462008-05-30T13:56:00.000+01:002008-05-30T13:56:00.000+01:00Richard you didn’t happen to notice if the foundat...Richard you didn’t happen to notice if the foundations at the bottom of the bit they have painted are still hanging in mid air did you?Michael Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499435016469020417noreply@blogger.com
