I thought I would post this edited little snippet of news I found on the web
Land at the former Betteshanger Colliery site near Deal has been earmarked as a˜flagship of national and regional significance" in a big-sell prospectus just published.Hadlow College, in partnership with the district and county councils, has produced a 20-page glossy brochure outlining the opportunities for a campus and country park.
According to the brochure, it is possible between 1,000 and 1,660 jobs could be generated with the campus and country park idea, with possibly a hotel or eco-lodge and heritage complex.
It reads: "It will create a new sense of place and local community economic benefit and is a unique regeneration scheme." The prospectus outlines the importance of the plans, especially in the wake of Pfizer's shock announement on February 1 to pull out of Sandwich by the end of next year.It continues: "This project is an 'oven ready' and timed to meet the needs of the local economy and is very relevant in the light of Pfizer announcements.
"Designation of east Kent as a research, innovation and technology zone is exactly what Betteshanger is positioned to achieve."

I thought there is already a Betteshanger Business Park. Fowlmead is close by too isn't it ?

The above was an article dated 19 April 2011 and as I hadn't read about on DF I thought that the story may have slipped by unnoticed.

GaryC knows all about Fowlmead, that's where the Miner went to and Betteshanger is already a business park and Hadlow are now the management company I believe, so maybe it is a promotional write-up.
Have a Lovely Easter Sunday with the family Marek - and everyone else too.

Very many thanks. We are off to 9.30am mass followed by an Easter hunt for Natascha I have devised and spent all morning dropping off clues and eggs. Family are having a barbie at their farm house but we've settled for a quiet family meal at home....guess who's cooking.
Love to Jean. As an aside the Consultant has given me 4 months off my blood treatment to 'see what happens'' so no blood letting...hurrah.
