  My main objections with the cable car are
  1.initial cost upkeep and maintenance
  2.when will it be open ie time of the day,months of the year?
  3.how often will it have to close due to high winds,fog etc
  4.how much will it cost per trip are there any discounts for Dover residents
  5.which market is it aimed at? cruise liner passengers who rarely stop to take breath in Dover or Tourists who are very few and far between or ferry passengers who speed along Townwall St as if their life depended on catching the next available ferry to France.
  6.who will profit by it?the Castle yes but not the town centre
  7.Finally Dover has a poor record with attractions,take the White Cliffs Experience as an example(and somebody did take it away)Hey DDC can't even maintain the zip wire in Pencester Play area God only knows how they'll manage with a cable car!!
  
  The money could be better spent on an inner "city" farm on the DTIZ site which would be great for the enviroment,great for the community,great for day trips for local school kids and the surrounding areas,great for the less able bodied,great for the pensioners and hopefully a great local tourist attraction.Surrounded by gift shops cafes,bars and kids indoor play area it could prove to be an eco friendly goldmine.
  
  Now that's thinking out of the "box".
