A new
Ramsgate swimming pool in the High Street has now been APPROVED
The
Localism Bill has become law and is now THE
LOCALISM ACT.
The Sandwich
Enterprise Zone includes money for UPGRADING
the Ramsgate Line
There is no
money allocated for building PARWAY STATION..
So NOW is the time for highspeedRAMSGATE
There are many problems which need resolving in
St Lawrence and Manston. The airport needs a good rail connection if it is to
survive at all, St Lawrence needs traffic management improvements, Our Grade II
listed Ramsgate railway station needs a secure future, Warre Recreation Ground
requires protection for the future and a solution needs to be found for the
improvement of the existing swimming pool. to maintain a good level facilities
in and around Newington
With the new Localism Act it will be possible
for local communities to take charge of their own planning requirements and
make suggestions for revitalising an area. Here is a suggestion (click on picture to enlarge) which could
address many of the communication issues surrounding the airport and the
railway. This could also provide a funding opportunity for improvements to
Warre Recreation Ground. Any comments?
Can't see the residents of Station Approach Road being too happy about a Multi-storey car park right outside their front doors. Nice design though, echoing that of the station facade.
ReplyDeleteis the swimming pool moving to the high street in ramsgate?
ReplyDeletePJ, I take your point but would it not be better than a derelict station and a housing estate on Warre Rec.
ReplyDeleteAnon 18.32 A new swimming pool was approved this week adjacent to the sports centre in the High Street, but the pool will only be 25 metres in length, so it is not a complete replacement.
I feel sure this was bandied about years ago when I lived in Ramsgate about time it was built that was near thirty years since
ReplyDeleteBe nice to have a Parkway Station too maybe if I send Sant a list..................
ReplyDeleteDon, thanks for your bit of history, I did not know that.
ReplyDeleteAs far as having Parkway as well, this will mean the death of Ramsgate Station, as the main increase to journey times is stopping at stations. If the HS1 stops at Parkway it will not stop at Ramsgate.
