The Audit COmmission is the GOvernment'sauiudiot or for TDc and KCC accounts.
Until now each year in Jully the public had a one-time chance to request copy invoices, bills, statements etc for a council's accounts - and object to them.
WIth FOI and EIR this is largely irrelevant as the public can request them at any time on emial, a visit in person or by post.
Here's my ojection to Andy Mack, the AC auditor for TDC:
Hi Andy
Can I object to TDC’s accounts as there seems issues around:
#rating and collecting airport fines
#arms length organisations funded/staffed by TDC eg EKO and £70k salaries
#drinking water and sea water contamination costs
#publicly stated 0% salary increases that were actually £25k increases
#cost of preparing the contaminated land register especially for Thor mercury and Richboro
#Is a £2M reserve on a £20M budget too high?
#What are the 3 year financial strategies: there seems only generic statements on providing annual plans at some stage – and target measures over the previous 3 years
#Can I have copies of TDC bank account details and investments
#Also The East Kent audit sleaze report of Deal Council
#TDC payroll/ all costs by department
#TDC councillor expenses/all costs
#CGP China trip costs funded by the developer: receipts and reimbursements and timesheets
#Details of Pleasurama/SFP Ventures tax haven costs to date: expenses, timesheets etc
#Tram Shelter missing insurance money
Can you email copies of these please given Word and Excel usage. These are requested under the AC Act and FOI and EIR.
If you'd like to raise any issues with Andy or request copies of invoices, timesheets, bills, payments, bank accounts etc etc then email him on amack@audit-commission.gov.uk
And unlike in previous years you can do that at any time.
You are paying £15M in salaries for TDC after all. No council tax paid. No salaries for TDC paid.
TDC's accounts are pretty good in recording most of the informatiuon although there's some shennanigans in listing sites that are accounted but not derelict or non-operational sites in the area - like toilets, that sort of thing.
TDC maybe able to shred complaints or issue false or misleading statements but they do have to account to the AC if concillors are unable to effect proper scrutiny.
Andy's given me an iterim reply that I can' t object to the accounts for some reason and I'll publish the details here as I've asked him to confirm what wording he requires.
A £5 bonus (he is charging TDC £145k for the audit) if he can find the noise monitors removed by Infratil and the Gang of Four and still operating apparently.

Poisoned water. Emergency council session.
None of us know exactly how polluted the water is: ask Harvey: Harvey.bradshaw@environment-agency.gov.uk as the EA and TDC and KCC seem unable to confirm.
It is the most polluted in SouthEast England by the EA's own admission so some dat amust exist.
Based in Allingham I’m sure East Kent's future is less of a concern for Harvey.
Unless the public-funded (by you and me) Kent Tops Travel coaches could bus loads of Thanet people up there to look through the Environmental Registers or to County Hall for the next Cabinet meeting.
Or Harvey could come to us at an emergency session of TDC or Ramsgate Town Council.
Funny how all the emergency council sessions are to rush through night flights or the ChinaGate no-one-can-say-exactly-what-it-is but it's the largest-ever Planning application.
Warehouses. Dozens of cargo warehouses. For a huge cargo airport built opposite Ostend cargo airport and on the drinking water.
But why doesn't Harvey email the toxin reports under EIR the Public Right to Know environmental legislation that unlike FOI has few if any exemptions – unless approved by a Public Interest Test ie in the public’s interest not to know.
Polluted water could be such an interest: if it’s in the public’s interest not to know how polluted the water is because many of them would die or suffer illness.
Thnaet has one of the worst lung cancer rates in the UK and a death -rate discrepancy of 11 years(!): a huge statistical skew for a population of 100,000 in a county of 1.2 M.
Steve Ladyman MP and Roger Gale MP believe the EA that the water pollution is down to the public pouring oil or paint down the sink. It’s definitely not due to a mercury factory or cargo airport built on the drinking water supply.
Roger has been MP for Margate for 30 years. Steve has been MP for Ramsgate for 10 years.
And now we have RTC and TDC councillors paying themselves twice for the same duties and only attending 10 council meetings per year. Isn't the water poisoned the other 2 months?
What have our councillors and civil servants been doing for all these years?
Failed. Failed. Failed.
Time for Change.

Thor mercury and EA. Testing, Testing...?
Those nice people at Wagtech http://www.wagtech.co.uk/ have sent me a quote for their HM1000 Heavy Metals Analyser which tests for mercury, arsenic, lead. copper and other nasties in the water.
It analyses them down to 0.1 parts per billion and gives a printout or computer graph. As you'd expect these days: full information displayed online almost instantly.
Shouldn’t Andrew Pearce at the Environment Agency buy a dozen or two of these and not only get the EA to actually used them (where are the toxin results from 20 years of EA supervising a factory that closed-but-didn’t-close in 1988 despite being banned in the UK and Africa after poisoning workers and the water table) and also hand them out to schools, hospitals, volunteer groups?
I’m not telling my granny how to suck eggs but if the toxin results are covered up and even EIR requests ignored then the EA hasn’t done any and, given the expertise of TDC’s Planning Dept and councillors, no-one’s being checking there either.
The Gang of Four: Messrs Latchford, Ezekiel, White ands Samuel really are a busted flush aren’t they? Let’s hope when they move on to other jobs they’re not running towns or anything with people in it.
Nor our MP’s who stated that the chemical fire was “nothing to worry about just close your windows”. Sure. And don’t breathe in the mercury cloud.
It’ll rot your lungs.
And that the water pollution, from the EA briefing, was due to “paint and oil down the sink” while the EA now claim that there’s huge improvements to the water in oil and paint recycling – only how would they know?
Oil and paint recycling wouldn’t affect the water supply. The problem is putting the stuff in the water supply.
If that is the problem. And none of the recycling plants take paint while oil has only just begun.
No news either from KCC and Geoff Wild with his 86 (!) KCC lawyers (isn’t that about £3M in tax-salaries and removing income from the private sector?) on removing the 4 dumped jumbo jets at Manston.
The lazy boys at EA only realised there was 4 dumped jumbo jets at Manston last month. Site visits are so difficult. Especially to pollution sites like airports. So very difficult.
It occurs to me that either they’re very thick and in which case we shouldn’t be employing them. Maybe not. Benefit of the doubt.
Or they’re lazy. Possibly.
Or they simply don’t care. Possibly.
Or they’ve been nobbled by the politicians who want to expand the airport but any costs to Infratil or proper regulation would actually make the airport untenable. Probably.
I can’ t explain why Brian White and Richard Samuel removed the noise and air monitors with Infratil and refused to provide mobile monitors. And for 5 years have pretended at each KIACC meeting even when Richard was Chair that there was monitoring.
And of course our councillors are silent. Many of them know about it. But a nod a wink a weak smile and the public’ll never know. Give ‘em a pay rise and move them sideways to count pencils.
Would Geoff as County lawyer be personally liable-but-not liable if there was an accident or widespread pollution? He can’t after all claim that he didn’t know? Would it be Paul Carter? Would it be Peter Gilroy?
Would it be Steve Ladyman or Roger Gale?
Who would carry the can and help bury the bodies?
But EA gave a “Noddy presentation” to TDC last month on “Please don’t pollute your water supply as it tends to kill you and the people around you. Some of them may get annoyed and venture forth to Allingham or County Hall or Cecil Sq.” with helpful guides such as “petrol stations on the water supply are not good” and “aviation fuel in the sea while issue a discharge permit”.
Bizarrely the presentation didn’t actually mention the mercury factory, solvent factory and airport on the water supply that is Thor, Sericol and Infratil.
What have the EA and TDC’s councillors and civil servants been doing?
They’re so stupid they’re even poisoning themselves and don't know what to do.
If you’d like, email Andy: Andrew.pearce@environment-agency.gov.uk and ask for the EIR results and if HM 1000’s can be provided for schools, hospitals and community groups.
Maybe not. Too expensive. Too difficult. Impossible.

Julian Brazier MP opposes Manston night flights
Julian Brazier MP for Canterbury and Herne Bay wrote to me to confirm he is opposed to night flights.
He cannot explain how noise and air monitors were removed or the mobile monitors failed to be provided for 5 years. Even with CCC and KCC as consultees.
He was "astonished" to hear the airport is built on the East Kent drinking water supply.
He understands the Environment Agency carries out pollution testing at Infratil and Thor mercury. As if.
Steve Ladyman remains silent - yet last week in Parliament asks for "Route Development Funds" presumably as a taxpayer abilout for the $1Bn Infratril.
Silence was the reply.
Laura Sandys remains silent.
Roger Gale remains silent.
TDC's councillors remain silent.
Paul Carter is a no-show.
Brian White is a no-show.
Richard Samuel refuses to answer questions.
What have they been doing to allow repeated major breaches of the 106, the most polluted drinking water supply in South East England and still the pollution continues.
Policy #1: Sack the Gang of Four: Messrs Samuel, Latchford,. Ezekiel and White: no payoffs, no pensions, reclaim the fraudulent 0% pay risies
Policy #2: Close Manston: safeguard the water supply, arrest Infratil Directors, recharge cleanup
Policy #3: End ChinaGate - tear up EKO and any Planning agreements or assumptions wih CGP et al
Policy #4: Axe Pleasurama: start again
What have ouit councillors, civil servants and MP's been playing at?
They simply havce no idea on spending Thanet's £60M council tax reduced to £2M after their salaries and funding KCC.
Failed. Failed. Failed.

£350,000 for councillors...
...to poison the drinking water.
Dumped jumbo jets on the drinking water.
The whole airport built on the drinking water supply - and slated for expansion as a cargo airport. Doh!
Allow repeated breaches of the 106.
Allow Messrs Samuel and White to remove the noise and air monitors.
What have our councillors and MP's been doing?
And who are the Thor and Manston councillors?
The civil servants must be running rings round them: they can't even produce the expenses and costs for the civil servants.
They allow fraudulent 0% but 30% payrises.
£60M in council tax. £40M sent to KCC. £15M out of the remaining £20M in TDC salaries and expenses. £350k for councillors. £2M reserve.
Isn't that barely £2M to run the towns? From £60M?
A council funding itself to record its own decline and failure.
Rated one of the worst in Britain by the Government itself - and Kent councils.
Time for P45's. Clear out the rat's nest of incomeptence and deceit.
Sack the Gang of Four: they have no idea on running towns or safeguarding the public. Only their careers and empty or false public statements.
Failed. Failed. Failed.

28 reasons why Margate burns and Ramsgate Rises
1. With the 2nd Ramsgate Town Council (RTC) meeting upon us soon isn’t there unfinished business for Mayor Dave to drive the agenda forward?
2. Axe Pleasurama – end the waste of time and funds on mystery tax haven developers. For all we know they could be funding councillors or civil servants. A building above the cliff-top and below the floodline is typical of TDC but let’s hope not for RTC
3. Axe ChinaGate – only the Gang of Four have benefited from the developer donations and trips and Tesco bag of receipts
4. Suspend Manston cargo flights to protect the water supply and enforce the 106: clearly night flights and loop training flights and overflights are not acceptable to the public and jobs in and around the flightpaths/towns across East Kent
5. When will the Eastcliff Bandstand be properly finished?
6. All council votes recorded by councillor for transparency?
7.Recall the fraudulent 0% but 30% salary increases
8.Recall of failed councillors and civil servants and MP’s – as in USA: 10% petition
9. Where is the Election Ferry and foot passengers on TEF?
10.When will Ramsgate Town Hall be repaired and open to the public?
11. VIC opening hours: none of this swapping with Margate nonsense each election
12. When will all TDC costs by department: salaries, expenses, pensions, cars etc be made public?
13.All meetings and documents automatically public/FOI/EIR “the Public Right to know” – no exemptions for press and public: where are the previous minutes, agendas and accounts; agendas circulated 2 weeks in advance – bring your mobile camera/video camera for footage
14. Where is RTC’s budget? On £20M for TDC that makes c.£6M for each of the towns. When is the £2M reserve spent?
15. Why no flags flying from our flagpoles – has the town died?
16.When will the Eastcliff Loggia and concrete-filled fountains be repaired?
17When will the Westcliff Lift be working – it’s not built to be derelict
18Where is the missing Tram Shelter insurance money and repairs?
19When will then Military Arches repairs and lamps and lightbulbs be finished?
20All the seafront shelters and benches repaired?
21.When will the new Bandstand toilet be replaced – hasn’t there been enough “death by council” for Ramsgate: reducing amenities or not repairing them?
22.Where are the street cleaning rotas? Garden, flowerbeds and roundabout rotas? Tourist signs?
23.Where are the drinking water and sea water and air and noise records?
24.Who are the councillors for Thor and Sericol and Infratil pollution?
25How many derelict or disused properties in Ramsgate
26Where is the Contaminated Land Register?
27Is the water supply now protected from further contamination?
28How much council tax rebate and reduction is required for the failures to repair the towns?
29Where are the representatives of the Police/Fire/Coastguard/Ambulance/NHS/Education on their work in the towns: shouldn’t there be elections of officials against policies?
With 80% of council tax provided to KCC and Police/Fire etc: c.£60M – why is TDC operating on only £20M – and raising council tax? Why is £15M of the £20M spent on TDC salaries. Plus a £2M reserve that leaves only £3M to fund councillors and repairs to the town.
Time for RTC to fly the flag as Ramsgate Rises from the corruption and incompetence of TDC’s 35 years of failure.
Do we really need so many paid councillors and civil servants if the town's aren't improved?
What have they been doing? 90% of copuncil tax spent on nothing except funding a council to poison the drinkign water and remove all the safety measures from a cargo airport by stealth.

No airport for East Kent. Poison for citizens.
Julian Brazier opposes night flights.
Paul Carter isn't sure until Boris tells him.
Geoff Wild and Stephen Dukes take the council dollar and keep schtum.
Brian White and Richard Samuel confirm they have been monitoring but not monitoring. Pay rises all round voted from our sheep-councillors.
Steve Ladyman and Silent Sandys aren't sure but they'll say what you want to hear.
Matt Clarke and Rowland Gunn of Infratil know that noise monitors are required at aiports but removed them.
Tell me again why we're paying £60M for TDC to send £40M to KCC and of the £20M left spend £15M on their own salaries.
And of the £5M left hold £2M in reserve.
Isn't that 90% of council tax spent on nothing.
Except to poison their own citizens.
