The post you are reporting:
What's wrong with opening bars and cafes with seating outside, in the Market Square? It works in thousand's of places worldwide. You don't stop improving things because of a few louts you improve things to stop the few louts and benefit the mass.
I agree with Brian, urinating etc is only happening because it is being allowed , more policing, dishing out fines will help.
Phil's right, especially with the importance of it all being themed on Family.
I referred to some as louts earlier, but they are not all at fault, some just don't know any other way to act. Show them a bit or Family Community and some might respond.
I shopped in Dover yesterday and it was packed and bussing, I then went to Tesco's to buy cheap suit and it was half full. Not sure what to make of it, one off or new trend, who knows?
Litter is a problem everywhere, but Dover town centre is quite bad, I saw the usual cleaner with his trolley and helping hand, come on DDC or DTC, he hasn't got a hope of keeping up with fag ends let alone litter. A proper wet sweeper is needed, and if you say you have one, then it not used properly or not enough.
I also noticed a practise of painting or spaying white arrows and other symbols on paving throughout the Dover and Deal town's, I suppose left for indication of follow up work, gas, water etc. I think this does start the untidy process off and needs cleaning up, along with shop fronts.
Jacqui, you summed it up lovely & there is no reason why it cant happen here.
Installing the Giant TV and opening up the Market Square as the Towns social gathering place, will upset a few people but will benefit many more.
