Why repair work from 70 years ago could spell the end for part of one of Sussex's oldest buildings.
Thanet District Council leader Chris Wells is stepping down.
He had led the authority since UKIP took control in 2015, but had faced calls to quit from his own party following divisions of the future of the former Manston Airfield site.
UKIP was elected on a promise to return it to use as an airfield, but Cllr Wells recently backed a local plan which would see part of it used for housing.
In a statement released this afternoon, he announced he has given formal notice of his resignation, with an extraordinary general meeting of Thanet Council on 1 March to elect a new leader.
Quote MessageIt has been a rare privilege to lead this council through some difficult times, facing declining budgets and increasing demand for services. My resignation recognises a simple fact of political life, that an administration needs to win votes to get policy through, and an administration supported by 13 or so of 56 Councillors would be a highly unstable proposition. The uncertainty that would create damages the smooth running of the council, something so many have worked so hard to maintain in challenging times."

Istvan Radi took this picture at Birling Gap on Saturday.
He said: "You can clearly see a group of probably students or young tourists sitting at the cliff edge with one of them particularly close to the edge. And why? She was taking a selfie. Will people never learn?"
Last month we reported that another photographer said people walking on the edge of chalk cliffs at Birling Gap and Beachy Head are "shocked" when he shows them pictures of recent rock falls.
The National Trust said: "It can be extremely dangerous to stand near the cliff edge and we advise visitors to act sensibly when visiting the area."

Tributes have been paid to a teenage boy who was killed alongside his grandfather when their car was hit by a train on a level crossing.
The pair, named locally as Will Hallett, 15, and Barry Hearnshaw, 72, died at the scene in West Sussex.
Police and rail investigators are working to establish how the crash happened at Barns Green on Saturday.
Will was a student at Tanbridge House School in Horsham and his headteacher paid tribute to him today.
Quote MessageWill has always been known as a wonderful person and student. He was universally popular and always showed the very best qualities of being kind, generous and caring. Will was highly intelligent and a model student who is held in the highest regard by his peers and staff.
Quote MessageWill put others before himself and is a role model for others. Our thoughts are with Will's family and friends and we hope that they can be supported and left to grieve in peace.”
Jules White, Headteacher, Tanbridge House School
