Many are in Cabinet or Committee positions.

Poorly contained or simply abandoned rubbish is a nightmare to deal with in a number of well-known locations around Thanet and draws resources in from the rest of the island which is not fair to socially responsible residents.<br /><br />I have reported the problem and with luck it will be dealt with on Monday/Tuesday.<br /><br />Where else, I might wonder, would you expect the cabinet member responsible to engage in actively listening to residents concerns and acting upon them?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03755236438987278120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7451795692810208788.post-80677733455908605562011-08-07T00:06:30.961+01:002011-08-07T00:06:30.961+01:00FMS is just one way in which the Council can learn...FMS is just one way in which the Council can learn of problem areas and it’s clearly useful. This website is still in its youth and as knowledge of this website increases, (maybe through a link on the TDC website?) its usage and thus its effectiveness will increase. I completely understand the Council's tough financial position and scarce resources, which is exactly why Im making comment on this, a fairly cheap method of gathering information on local problem areas. <br /><br />From what I saw, it wasn’t so much dumped rubbish as poorly contained rubbish. Looking at two of those photos, a serious talk with the owner of the properties concerned and a discussion of options could lead to a proper solution. Common sense would easily prevail.<br /><br />I welcome contributions from residents on problem areas and how to tackle them. After all, you all know your areas best...James Maskellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15441611588943798565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7451795692810208788.post-79082230666486099192011-08-06T21:07:29.277+01:002011-08-06T21:07:29.277+01:00The cllr/dr should also know that email is also a ...The cllr/dr should also know that email is also a very good way of reporting rubbish to the council, that is what fixmystreet does and the public can see for themselves what progress is being made. This is exactly what James has done and he has illustrated that TDC does not act pronptly on these matters. <br /><br />But being dealt with is due course is meaningless, it could be years, a more definite time scale is required, so give us one please.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7451795692810208788.post-75206103198903342792011-08-06T18:47:50.524+01:002011-08-06T18:47:50.524+01:00The flying multi talented Environment Service Cabi...The flying multi talented Environment Service Cabinet member is aware of this and is sure it will be dealt with in due course.
