CONDUCT OF THE HONOURABLE MEMBER FOR SOUTH THANET

leave out from 'Thanet' to end and add 'which described the project as an "exceptional concept" that was "ambitious but visionary" and stated that the honourable Member for South Thanet showed "great initiative"; also notes that neither report suggests impropriety on anyone's behalf or raises the possibility of Thanet Council being penalised financially and that the attack on the Member for South Thanet is a disgraceful perversion of the content of these reports; further notes that Thanet Council has benefited from this project in having received improvements to a Ramsgate car park, worth about ú60,000, yielding increased parking revenue of approximately ú25,000 per year in addition to a further ú68,000 to date in fees from the Ramsgate Market run by Thanet Stadium; further notes that Margate and Ramsgate Football Clubs have earned about ú250,000 to date from the project and their current sporting success is a direct consequence of this funding and the council and Thanet Stadium now hold a further ú120,000, generated by the project, which is available for sports ground improvements in Thanet; observes that Ramsgate Market is one of the most successful in Kent and has greatly added to the profitability of local retail business; and records that none of these benefits would have been realised without the efforts of the Member for South Thanet.'.
