“This is an amazing moment for Thanet. The district has one of the most vibrant art scenes in the UK and hosting this prestigious prize strengthens Margate’s reputation as a cultural powerhouse.
J.M.W Turner was a regular visitor, producing a number of works of Margate and declaring that the skies over Thanet are the loveliest in all Europe so it really feels like the Prize is ‘coming home’.”
Leader, Cllr Bob Bayford
A number of public toilets across Thanet have undergone a deep clean, a total plumbing overhaul and seen new energy efficient LED lights installed. Primarily located at or near our main bathing bays, these loos have been given some much needed TLC as well as a fresh coat of paint.
Thanet District Council wants local people to give their views on proposed, stricter rules to help reduce antisocial behaviour across the district.
Thanet District Council has awarded grant funding totalling £136,032, to seven local voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) groups providing services in the district.
