  Thanks John - a good example indeed of multi-agences working together.
  
  Thanks Chris for a bit of clarification on what "street-scene" means, or at least the aspect of it, that is to receive attention.
  
  Is this part of a Dover Pride initiative do you know ? not being connected with DP, it seems that things will only get done if thought up by them.
  
  A couple of years ago they employed a firm of Consultants to look at Dover from many aspects, the main one being connecting the Castle to the Town and how visitors to the Castle could be encouraged to also visit the Town; they also looked at the tourism issue.
  
  I believe that that consultation is what brought on the cable car.
  
  On the tourism side, two "quick-fixes" were suggested, an urgent return of the tour bus and new "finger-signs" around town, in French and English.
  
  The Town Council were I believe at that time, involved with Calais on the Interrreg initiative and were working on those finger-signs (what happended to that I wonder); DP thought the return of the tour bus would be too expensive !! - can you believe that ?
  
  Now I understand there are two intitiaves to bring back the tour bus next year with two different tour-bus companies.
  
  A bit like buses themselves, you wait ages them, then two turn up !!
