Obscure KCC Hotel profitable
Reply received from KCC concerning, one of the county's more exclusive Hotels, (see earlier story KCC Hotelier's) according to a facilities manager for the Oakwood House Hotel this does actually make a profit although occupancy of its 41 rooms is at a meagre 35 per cent. A greater effort is being made to market the hotel to non local authority customers.

Despite the fact that this establishments makes a profit I would assume that most of its custom is from KCC. Although this is making an operating profit I just wonder whether a given the capital involved we are getting a fair return for our money.

Is it me or our council staff or rather our officers (as many like to be called particularly in Thanet) getting more polite. I would like to thank all those council employees who are so helpful these days.
