Blog ≫ 2020 ≫ Just a test post to test image compression
I was looking at image efficiency and page load times and things on this site. Here's a new photo of the Harbour Arm from Friday, a big old "border force" parked up against it. I've not seen it before but it's a common site at the moment apparently. See also the tiny kayaker there.
I've just quit the neighbourhood WhatsApp group because there were several posts on there panicking about asylum seekers and there's just no need for it.
UPDATE: Oh!1
Following the rumours circulating, we have been given confirmation today that the Home Office intends to make Napier Barracks an assessment and dispersal facility for asylum seekers.
F&HDC Leader Cllr David Monk, Folkestone & Hythe MP Damian Collins and Folkestone & Hythe District Council ward member Cllr Tim Prater - who is also chairman of Sandgate Parish Council - have co-written letters protesting to ministers about the lack of consultation on this matter and the exceptionally poor communication with us.
UPDATE: The image compression worked nicely, thanks.
