Why save Dreamland?

[Jim Douglas Jr.]

I still think the key lies with the council, and not with Waterbridge. They (Waterbridge) aren't going to simply change their mind and restore Dreamland to a beautiful park, although for a long term investment, they certainly must realize it would be an excellent one.

Might not pay as well as a shopping center, but would be a feather in their cap.

I entirely agree that the council is holding the trump card. Whether they choose to play it or not is another matter...Certainly, as a Campaign, we are focussing our attention on those people who we believe have the most power to influence the situation.

However, Waterbridge is a company operating in the public domain and Toby Hunter's email address obviously isn't a closely guarded secret. I see no reason why individuals should not make their views known to him, if that's what they want to do. I don't think Neil has said, or even implied, that he is speaking on behalf of the Campaign. Of course, I appreciate that there is always a danger that Waterbridge may choose to assume that is the case. So long as it's made crystal clear that it isn't, I don't see why Thanet District Council should be the only people who are made aware of the public's strength of feeling.

I've given my Save Dreamland mini site another update. It now includes a Campaign timeline:

The links are in the blue box. The 2004 and 2005 page may need some adjustments to the formatting, so I'll try and get that done sometime.
OK-formatting complete. At the moment it only goes up to 2005, but at some point I may add the first half of 2006, a lot seems to have happened.
