Forgotten Sandgate: Wilberforce Road Bench
A few weeks ago, I raised the poor state of repair of the small kerbside bench on Wilberforce Road just off Sandgate High Street at Sandgate Parish Council.

Is Magna Carta still relevant: Did She Die In Vain?
On Monday 15th June, we celebrated the 800th Anniversary of Magna Carta; an important date in the history of democracy. Well, not according to some experts such as Dr David Starkey, for whom it was a first - and largely abortive - attempt to limit the power of the King, for the benefit of the nobility of the day, rather than the 'people'.
