Demolition of swimming pool at Tides Leisure Centre in Deal brought forward due to public safety fears

19 hours ago | kentonline.co.uk | Sam Lennon

But it has since been the target of break-ins and it is feared it could be a magnet for anti-social behaviour. It was meant to be knocked down next winter but officers have now recommended it happens this summer.

Why Spectator article about Canterbury being in ‘general decline’ and a ‘no-go zone’ got it so wrong

2 days ago | kentonline.co.uk | Chris Britcher

If I were to tell you one place in Kent was recently described in a national magazine as in “general decline”, awash with the homeless, and a potential “no-go zone where authority fears to tread”, what would be your first guess as to where this could be? I won’t pander to stereotypical views of some of the county’s towns, but I would hazard a guess Canterbury isn’t the first on your list of prime suspects. Canterbury? That big, bustling, culture-rich medieval-meets-modern city?

Saturday, December 12, 1987. A sold-out Hammersmith Odeon. T’Pau take to the stage on what would be the final day of a five-week reign at the top of the charts with their now-classic China In Your Hand. At some point during its stay at the top, their debut album, Bridge of Spies, was number one too. It remained in the top 40 for some seven months.
