Foliage in Broadstairs has announced that it will close after a deal to sell the business fell through. The lease is now available for a new business to take over and the cafe will remain open until a new occupant is found. “This was not an easy decision,” says owner Kelley Wilson. “We have had a challenging year in our personal life and my family can’t take second place any longer.” See the property listing.
The sale of the Pierremont Park depot was discussed at Thanet District Council’s overview and scrutiny meeting this week. The committee recommended that the building should be withdrawn from the council’s asset disposal list until it can be considered alongside a plan for the whole park. The depot was marked for disposal in 2025 and sold earlier this year. However, the buyer withdrew in August. Broadstairs & St Peters Town Council has made several attempts to secure the building for community use, so far without success.
