Princes Parade

Preparatory work is continuing in line with and under the supervisionof Ecological experts. I am satisfied that the Council is complyingwith the Ecological guidance and that disruption form the exploratorywork will be minimized. Full details of progress and ongoingupdates can be found here

https://www.folkestone-hythe.gov.uk/news/princes-parade-works

I have always been open about my support for this development andcontinue to believe that when finished it will enhance the setting andprovide the much needed new Pool and Fitness Centre. Others willcontinue to disagree, but the fact is that the Council is committed tothe project and any delaying tactics to the Councils lawful actions bythose opposed could lead to unnecessary costs.

Two plays. One an imaginary meeting between DylanThomas and Brendan Behan in a Fitzrovia pub. Theother is Caitlin Thomas reminiscing after the untimelydeath of her husband.

Set in Folkestone in the heady days of the late60s.

They say if you can remember it, you weren'tthere!

All now available in paperbackand on Kindle

All profits from it will be donated to theSave Prince's Parade campaign which aims to haltplans to develop the area into a housing estate.

Very funny, and surreal story about a man and a woman ontheir first date: Bolton Brady and Veda, set in London,November 2001. Bolton is forty, not into assets, has neverlived with a woman and looked into the future and seenloneliness. So he decides to do something about it. Headvertises in a lonely-hearts column, and receives six replies,but after experiencing one disaster after another only Vedaremains between him and his sanity. As the day unfolds theline between reality and fantasy becomes blurred, building to asurreal, yet poignant, conclusion.
