Some details from this week's Herald about Gate 28

According to the Folkestone Herald:It's under new ownership because Roger DeHaan sold the freehold, hmm why would he do that? I wonder if it's because Jimmy Godden has been buying up properties on the same street.The same owner owns the Gate Inn in H...

RE: Poor Jimmy Godden

I am so pleased that someone is concerned about Mr Godden's spate of bad luck, I am sure that Jimmy will appreciate this community spirit - after all Mr Godden has always had the towns' best interests at heart. It is good to know that there is one de...

Poor Jimmy Godden

I do feel sorry for Jimmy Godden as it appears that anything he owns seems to catch fire. I mean it's wasn't so long ago that some b****** set fire to another property that he owned (Mr B's Arcade on Margate seafront), burning it to the ground. Then ...

Try and get a local paper

There's very little info online actually, www.lcrhq.co.uk might have info on the high speed rail link, AFAIK still not due until the end of 2009, and that's not allowing for any new postponements. I made the move from London with all this in mind tho...

Is there already a casino?

I went past "Luxor Casino Bingo" near Tontine Street at the weekend, is it just bingo, or is it really a casino? Doesn't seem likely.Personally I wouldn't be too worried about a casino being in the area, is there any reason to be?Guessing the casino ...

RE: Folkestone Harbour

De Haan told me probably about 6-7 years...

But it all depends on the council throwing out Jimmy Godden's planning application.

SOS Folkestone

On a technical level, I don't like www.sosfolkestone.info but that could be just me being a nerd. They do have a little forum there with a lot more activity than this one, and some more info on Roger Dehaan's masterplan for Folkestone, including some...

RE: Ferry godmother

See also this... (assuming it's not the same article as the one you've posted). A sticking point for the ferry service would seem to be the harbour development. Roger de Haan is presenting his nice middle-class Norman Foster project in the near futur...
