The Three Mackerel is now for sale for £85k - why why why? - that is just for the leasehold business, not the property! Don't prospective buyers actually look at the books?
Season and (Cllr) Tim were a lovely, media-savvy couple, but couldn't make it go of it. Then came the Elvis-obsessed (wtf?) Nostalgia chap, followed by the forgettable tenant of the interestingly-named Euphoria. Literally dozens turned up on the opening night looking for Folkestone's latest gay venue, only to find a cheap re-hash of The Front, full of Folkestone yobs, most of whom had never met "a gay."
This brings us to The Three Mackerel. Just more of the same: doomed to fail. For God's sake, do us all a favour and turn this failure into apartments and DO NOT waste £85k on trying to take advantage of Godden and de Haan's pathetic future for the town. Neither the seafront, the "University," the new Asda-dominated shopping "centre," the sad creative area, or the re-juvenation of Tontine Street will ever make The Three Mackerel a success. Ask Cllr and Mrs Prater, and all the other broke tenants what they think.

Reprinting from Kent news, hopefully they'll get a result, are there not CCTV cameras all over the Leas?
POLICE are appealing for help identifying a group of youths who assaulted and hurled abuse at a street cleaner.
The 62-year-old broke his arm when he was pushed over by one of the yobs on the zig zag path near The Leas in Folkestone on Friday.
The incident happened at around 10.15am. The main offender is described as a white male aged 15 or 16, six feet two inches tall and of slim build with short fair hair.
He was wearing a blue tracksuit with a blue stripe on the arms and trainers.
Anyone with information about the incident is urged to call PC Scott McKillop on 01303 850055, or Kent Crimestoppers on 0800 555111
