  So poor old Dover loses out again! What more can they do to us?!

  ...and add the announcement that the Dover Mercury office looks tipped for closure as the KM Group trim back their operation.
  
  We don't half get a battering from all directions, don't we?

  Whats that about The Mercury Andrew...I havent heard anything myself so want to hear more. We really dont want to lose The Mercury's very informative input on local life.
  
  The newspapers seem to be farming out their operations to cover a wider area, obviously feeling the economic pinch here in Dover. No wonder we dont seem to warrant consideration for a decent hospital when even the newspapers are having trouble surviving in this town.
