Military Road wallSandgate Parish Councillor Tim Prater reported a knocked down wall in Sandgate to Shepway District Council via Twitter on Monday night.

The wall by parking spaces opposite the Little Fish and Chip Shop on Gough Road, Sandgate, was knocked over around 4.30 in the afternoon on Monday.

The Monday evening "tweet" to Shepway District Council's twitter account read: "@shepwaydc Wall has been knocked down today in Sandgate by parking spaces at junction Military Rd / Gough Rd. Could it be fixed please?"

Tim Prater commented:

"Shepway Council have previously fixed issues reported to them via Twitter - it can be a quick and easy way of reporting problems.

"I hope the wall is at the least removed in the short term or ideally fixed quickly!"

Update 14.49: Just after this story was posted, Tim received a message back from Shepway Council via Twitter saying:

" Hi Tim, we've reported it to our property team who are dealing with it now! Thanks for letting us know!"
