Just a shame that Miles and Barr have used a picture of the Seven Sisters in East Sussex, rather than our White Cliffs. Just the latest people to fall into this trap.

I notice the big blue "power plant" building has now been demolished.

Yup. More 'much needed' housing in the district.
Told you before - deaths in Dover District roughly 400 a year, births 200.
Yet more flight from London pushing up house prices and making them unaffordable for 'locals'.

When do your figures date from, 1820? For 2019, deaths 1222; births 1073. So not, in fact, a ratio of 2:1 in favour of deaths, but more like 1.13:1.

Do births and deaths get registered by residence or by place of birth/death? Also, isn't the valid comparison for housing stock between deaths now and births, say, 20 - 30 years ago?

Figures given to me by council officers.
Even with your numbers it would appear there are c200 fewer each year?

Yep - 100g of dark chocolate and raspberry.
Also included a pack of cards - although it could be cigarettes!

Activity inside the site at the moment. Diggers moving stuff around.
Is it actually the beginnings of the development or just a company using it as a yard?
