IN the 1960’s Margate was known as the place to buy rock and kiss-me-quick hats, but, recently, Margate has been struggling to make an income.

Margate locals are still enthusiastic for the redevelopment of Margate, one local said, “Margate may have lost it’s shine but we will get it back, where else can you live in a block of flats with a view of the sea.”

With the redevelopment in mind, Brian Hawkings has tried to help out the locals of Margate. He hopes that the shake up will change the way that people perceive the once bustling town.
