Thanet links for finding out what is going on

This post is a collection of links when you want to know what is going on in Thanet beyond the bits you read in the news.

Plans and designs

A good first stop for finding out what is being planned in and around Thaent is the Thanet District Council planning search engine.

Next, you may wish to investigate freedom of information (FOI) requests. One source of a lot of public FOI is whatdotheyknow.com. Once you figure out how to ask something, you will be amazed at what you can learn.

Emergency Services

Kent’s fire service maintains a listing of recent incidents here.

Kent police release news and updates via their website. You can refine your search by area.

Other

You can keep updated on what our MPs are doing on theyworkforyou.com.

Thanet’s blogs sometimes carry breaking news, original research, and other insights.

There must be more…

I have no doubt that there are other sources of news, press releases, and not well-publicised information. Please feel free to reply with any that I have missed. If I discover substantially more, I’ll write an updated version of this post.
