Second fence ordered to go up at former fun park

THANET council contractors are to put a SECOND metal fence around Margate's fire-torn Dreamland to protect the scenic railway because the current three-week old fence is not good enough.

The council issued a notice at the beginning of the month, demanding that Margate's Dreamland takes action to protect the former fun park's Grade II listed scenic railway which was damaged by arsonists in April.

On Friday the council served a second notice saying it would be putting up the fence itself. Planning officer Doug Brown confirmed that a council appointed contractor would be arriving on the site on Tuesday to install the second fence.
