Ramsgate on the Isle of Thanet is a seaside resort in the south East of England. Once a major holiday destination it has become run down because of a failure to move with the times. Once a place for a wonderful holiday experience now blighted by 11 years of dereliction on the seafront and a failure of governance from Thanet District Council. This blog has been set up to give Ramsgate people a voice and to campaign for change #Truthwillout

Eastcliffe Memorial Garden Part ii
This garden, in conjunction with Ramsgate Council nears completion. The area was originally a sundial but with no money for its upkeep it was looking sad.
2 days weeding and clearing the stones enabled the setting up of a poppy garden and an area in the front to plant commemorative crosses.
Creating a sign to display the 100th anniversary of the start of WW1 took a few more days but looks the part.
Planting a cross which honours the fallen of Ramsgate I hope people will take the opportunity to plant a cross for their relatives.

Brilliant.
ReplyDeleteI shall miss the sundial after all these years, but your alternative is admirable.
ReplyDeleteI have the garden until September when I understand it will be relandscaped
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the sentiment and applaud the effort - but couldn't someone find some hessian sandbags?
ReplyDeleteThey are easy to buy online and only cost a few pence each.
The white plastic does nothing to inspire the reverence and commemoration that I'm sure you're trying to achieve.
Please take this as constructive criticism to help make a good idea better.
If you get some and leave them up there I will swap over the sand. TDC didn't have any others
