Swanage Bay View Caravan Site.

Has the "Milk Cow" run dry so quickly?
Is it true that our Council now wants to sell off the caravans they own on the Swanage Bay View site and then hand over the site to be managed by a Management Contractor on a 35 or 50 year lease?
Only last April the Mayor of Swanage, Cllr Tony Miller, stated that they were turning it into a "milk cow" for the people of Swanage. He hopes in 4 to 5 years time that it would earn "enough to do away with the Council Tax precept" He then went on to say "After many hours. in fact many days of intense scrutiny, and after considering the possibility of selling or leasing, it was decided that the best way forward would be to achieve five star rating for the park.
It seems after only six months they have given up the ghost. It seems now that by a unamimous decision they have decided to lease out the site.
This lot could not arrange a drinks party in a brewery!!

Hi, Can anyone help Joe and Manny Atkins, who are off around the world with their family in June. They are travelling in a 1986 Leyland Tiger Coach, and are acting as a global educational resource. They are looking for somewhere to keep their bus from now until June, as the current site has become unsuitable. They need somewhere off road, with out buildings and electricity. Quite happy to pay (although not business rates.) If you can help: contact them at their website welcometotheworld.org.uk

Have just done a quick analysis of the swanageblog home page. Pier Head 56 comments, Anti Social Behaviour 70 comments - 12 other subjects, excluding "new subject" these having from 0 to 13 comments, average 4.4.
Looks like Swanage comment might be polarised between the "haves" and "have-nots".

SWANAGE BLUES FESTIVAL
2-4 March 2007

Thanks to everybody in Swanage who's put up a poster, made a donation, taken an advert on the website (only £12 for a whole year - still some places left!), and generally given me so much encouragement and support.

Just to let you all know that the BBC will be coming for an outside broadcast live from the festival, and if you fancy being in the audience, there's more information on the website at www.swanage-blues.org

I came across this site the other day - www.politicalcompass.org

It occured to me that some of the threads on this blog have a lot of "you must be a Grauniad reader" or "you must be a Torygraph reader" perhaps those posters would like to check what their "real politics" are. Perhaps they could update us if they try it out.
A few people have labelled me as an extreme right wing thinker but this showed me as being a little to the left.
Right or wrong I don't know, but an interesting experiment.
