Our team of journalists and correspondents are here to bring you up to the minute information from Broadstairs, Margate and Ramsgate and surrounding areas.

We are out and about covering a huge range of events from breaking stories to grassroots community news.

Now you can access their articles all day, every day, to keep up to date with what’s happening in the heart of your community.

And we want you to be part of it. This site is interactive, inviting you to have your say on the burning issues of the day with our Speak Out and easy-to-use online polls.

As well as your views we want your news – so let us know what’s happening so we can report it on thanetextra.co.uk

Our regularly updated picture of the day feature is a showcase for our area and we are inviting you to submit your images which capture the true essence of our diverse region.

Meanwhile each week your free, award-winning Isle of Thanet Extra will continue to provide a comprehensive local news and sport service, plus local jobs, great property and motors sections, plus unrivalled local leisure coverage. Copies can be bought at newsagents and our office at 183 Northdown Road, Cliftonville.
