Griff Rhys Jones was in Thanet today in his capacity
as President of Civic Voice, the supporting organisation for all Civic
Societies in the UK . Griff arrived by high speed train
in Ramsgate to help the campaign for restoring Ellington Park, he then moved on
to inspect Project Motorhouse and the
newly renovated promenade shelters.
Whilst at the Project Motorhouse he was
hijacked by campaigners with placards protesting about the lack of progress on
the Pleasurama site in Ramsgate. However, it quickly became apparent that all
parties were on the same side, wanting Ramsgate to be regenerated throughout.
Griff in his usual jovial manner agreed to a photo shoot with the “protestors”
as seen above.
After the visit to Project Motorhouse , Griff moved
on to the Custom House for coffee and an interview with Kent on Sunday (don’t
miss it!), before moving on to Margate in order to add his support to the clock
tower appeal. Thanks for your support Griff and good luck with the rest of the
tour to Faversham and finishing in Rochester on Saturday.
