NEWS RELEASE
Latest update on the Royal Sands site, Ramsgate
On Thursday 20 February, Cabinet members at
Thanet District Council agreed to terminate the Royal Sands site (Ramsgate)
development agreement, in line with the recommendations of the Overview and
Scrutiny Panel.
The council wishes to confirm that
pursuant to those recommendations formal notice has been served
on the developer’s solicitors requiring them to correct a breach of
contract.
Cabinet Member for Financial Services and
Estates, Cllr Rick Everitt, said: “I’d like to offer my strongest assurances to
residents that we are doing all we can to progress matters.
“I can appreciate the frustration when it
appears that things are not progressing as quickly as anticipated. However, the
council is working hard behind the scenes and has a dedicated team in place who
are driving this forward.
“There are a number of complicated legal
issues which we are continuing to work to resolve. This does mean that we need
to take the time to ensure we get the process right. It also means that we
won’t be able to provide any further detail at this stage – to do so would only
undermine the strength of our legal position and that’s not something I’m
willing to risk.
“What I can confirm is that the council
?is committed to ensuring this matter is resolved as quickly as
possible."
