MUTINY IN THE COUNTY Part 2.

Dear Residents,

My, oh my, oh my. If you see a middle aged lady on Folkestone harbour dressed in traditional gipsy attire, gazing into a crystal ball, it could be one of our S&DRA authors. For she also doubles as a predictor of Shepway District Council Cabinet meetings.
This is what she said last night:
Now, the cabinet meeting is to be held tomorrow, 8th June. Councillor Monk has confirmed that it will be a free vote and that he in no way will influence the vote to take this scheme forward to central Government. Wouldn't it be amazing if those members 'positions' were diametrically opposed to ALL local Parish Councillors.

Stand back and be amazed, Guess what; ALL of the cabinet members voted in support of taking Bonkersville forward as a submission to central government. This means that Kim Jong Monk, Leader of the peoples republic of Shepway has the full backing of his Cabinet cronies including our most trusted of local representative's , Carey and Westenhanger property mogul, Hollingsbee.

Once again, we heard from Councillor Carey, how wonderful and exciting the Otterpool Park scheme would be. Extolling its virtues even further, we heard how there would be 30% open space and cycle paths and so it went on. All the while, the public gallery were becoming vocal. Huffing and puffing and hurling insults at the Muppets in the shepway arena. Suddenly, a voice from below us: our great leader, Kim Jong Monk spoke with great authority, - 'If you don't keep quiet, Ill ask you to leave'. The room fell silent ………………………After 4 seconds the gallery rumbled. Looking around at the residents their upper lips curled in disdain as the monotoned Carey pressed on with her delivery of the Bonkersville monologue.

A couple more Muppets had a go at shoring up Carey as a support act and then came the crucial vote, Proposed by Kim (Jong-Monk, that is) and seconded by Councillor Stuart Peall, Cabinet member for the environment, to take the Otterpool Park application forward as a submission to central Government. Every hand went up and the gallery responded with shouts of shame on you all and traitors. It was at that point that Kim (Jong-Monk) asked the public gallery to leave. A few residents walked away with the groups core sitting tight. Kim asked again, the group sat tight. Eventually the Muppets, along with Kim had to leave the chamber leaving us to chat with the door lady. (who possibly couldn't comment on anything).

So, there we have it again; Local residents and their Parish Councils expressing a view that Bonkersville is not acceptable and Shepway Council and its cronie, spineless Councillors voting with no regard for the electorate. As for our so called representatives Carey and Hollingsbee, words could never express the feelings that local residents have for these two individuals that tow the Shepway line at any cost. Shame on you all.
