Dreamland to be rejuvenated
The High Court is expected to decide today on an appeal by the former owners of the Dreamland amusement park in Margate. They have appealed against Thanet Council's compulsory purchase of the site.
What the council plans to do with Dreamland
Thanet District Council plan to spend £10.3 million to rejuvenate the former Dreamland funfair.
The plans include spending £2.2 million on restoring the Scenic Railway roller coaster.
Another £1.7 million will be spent on other new rides.
It claims that the new heritage theme park will draw in 350,000 visitors a year and will create 14 full time jobs and 32 part time and seasonal jobs.
A £3.7 million government grant will also help with the restoration.
