No casino for Folkestone seafront

Shepway.gov.uk has the full story:

Shepway District Council has been notified by the Casino Advisory Panel that their proposal to allow a casino at Folkestone Seafront has been unsuccessful.

Shepway Cabinet member for regeneration Cllr Linda Cufley said: "We are very disappointed with the news. It could have helped in regenerating and revitalizing the town but we were up against some stiff competition."

This is part of my website The 'Gerald that I built in a fury of excitement when I first moved to Folkestone in approximately 2004. I'd been a frequent visitor for a while previous to that so I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get now. The site used to be updated more frequently with a gig calendar and voting for favourite venues and stuff, and I know it was a handy resource for others who were thinking of moving to the area. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though only a couple of miles) it doesn't get as much love as it used to. Ironic really as The town is becoming the exciting place we always thought it was about to become. I am not Gerald BTW, this comes from a pretend paper in an episode of The Day Today or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local newspaper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are GRATE aren't they? Do contact me if you have something to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
