Thanks Howard I thought they were but Reg's post confused me which is easily done.
I reiterate my earlier altered comment.....the Town Council are a really not up to the job they were elected to do.
It looks like the toilets will not open this year, it would be to hard for anyone to cover their costs even if everything was sorted in a couple of weeks. Somebody's head should roll for what seems a complete and utter b**ls up, these toilets should have been put out for tender a lot earlier than they were.

Considering how much money DHB make they should run them, but that's another matter.

The Toilets there are DDC and always have been, puzzled why anyone should think DHB should run them?

DHB as I see it have assisted DDC in the refurbishment of the toilet block and the new kiosk, DDC now need to find a suitable tenant to make it an asset to the seafront.

right in the first sentence but wrong in the second martin, the town council has total control of the toilets/kiosk from now on.
i have a sinking feeling on this one.

Someone sort it out please, a much needed facility is standing idle!

All I will say on this is that I find it disappointing the petty politics and muckraking on both sides of the chamber(s) has lead to a much needed civic facility being left unused.

Ross.
Petty politics from the councils are what is stopping this town from the regeneration that it badly needs.

i think there is more than petty politics involved in this fiasco.
putting the building out to tender is one issue, we don't know how or where it was advertised and it was on the town council website for such a short time that it would have been impossible for anyone to meet all the criteria.
then we have the former leader saying that advice was taken about the application of the c.i.c. but the town clerk denying it.

Deary, deary, deary me.
all this tosh and tish

How can you forget your manager of a company? then forget to declare that interest?
until reminded

Not much of an update is it, from what I can remember most of that article is the same as the previous week's Dover Express.

the thing that i find confusing is that cllr jones chaired the committee that sorted the refurbishment and claims that she had no interest in it at that time.
she then goes on to say that she was advised not declare an interest by the town clerk.

Surely if you top bod in a company you cant forget that???????
This has opened a can of worms,
and then whilst top bod you forget to declare that interest or register it
