Hearing of Martin Parrโs passing reminded us of the photos he took at the Oval Bandstand in 1986 a nostalgic seaside moment displayed at the Centre Pompidou & Tokyo Photographic Art Museum. Part of his Home & Abroad collection, itโs a small but special piece of our local story๐
Dog fouling is blighting our parks & beaches, yet @ThanetCouncil issued just 37 fines since 2016, despite 622 reports and only 3 penalties in 5 years (a 0.48% success rate!).
Itโs time for real enforcement ๐ https://t.co/UgbbzGXUC3

๐ฃ๏ธ Itโs time for action in Thanet! ๐ฉ
Our parks & beaches are being blighted by dog fouling and enforcement is nowhere to be seen.
Sign the petition demanding TDC act now: fines, patrols & accountability.

Dog fouling at The Oval is out of control. These photos are from just one lawn today. Itโs unhygienic, unsafe & unfair on our community.Weโve funded bins ourselves, but TDC still wonโt delegate PSPO powers so we can act. Councillors & Polly Billington MP we need your backing now

Six memorial rose bushes, planted in memory of loved ones, have been stolen. Someone came prepared with a shovel and bucket, knowing exactly what they were doing.
Weโre heartbroken. If you saw anything, reach out. We deserves better. #Margate
