We the undersigned demand that Thanet District Council halts its proposed plan to sell off council houses in Ramsgate. Coastguard Cottages are Grade II listed buildings currently providing homes for council tenants. Thanet District Council's proposal to sell them off cheaply to the private sector is clearly wrong at a time when social housing is so badly needed.
Why is this important?
Ramsgate needs more public housing not less. We have a housing crisis and social housing is desperately needed. We believe the practice of selling off the town's assets for a quick profit without regard for the future is scandalous.
