This is confirmed during the Podcast at which point this takes place. Thank you Let's remember Broadstairs is a quintessential, charming coastal town located on the Isle of Thanet in East Kent, England. Affectionately nicknamed the \"Jewel in Thanet's Crown,\" it beautifully preserves a nostalgic, Victorian-era seaside atmosphere while fostering a thriving contemporary food, shopping, and arts scene. Nestled between the coastal hubs of Margate and Ramsgate, the town is renowned for its spectacular chalk cliffs, a necklace of sandy bays, and strong historic ties to literary giant Charles Dickens. As we all know Broadstairs did not have such a great weekend. Families, visitors and local residents were all geared up for a fantastic weekend in the sun. The beaches were packed local restaurants, pubs and cafes were all geared up for a great time. However a very small minority were encouraged by social media as has happened before to descend on our town. But it was for all the wrong reasons. Fuelled with drink and walking our streets in beach wear and stealing from local shops they caused havoc stealing alcohol and other items and in the end forcing local business to close. But this was not just unique to Broadstairs many coastal resorts across the country suffered the same problem. So here you can listen to our local community tell you why Broadstairs is not like this all the time, it's a fantastic place to visit and enjoy. I thank you all for taking part.","meta_description":"This is a special edition after the events that took place over the Bank Holiday Weekend FYI some of the comments were converted but not changed from the…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1174,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/broadstairs-life-7682120/episodes/broadstairs-and-its-community-speak/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/broadstairs-life-7682120/broadstairs-and-its-community-speak.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
