Anti-social behaviour is rife around midnight at weekends in the Market Square as people leave pubs fuelled up. Why should the screen which will be turned off by 11pm at the latest, create more of this? It's a problem we already have as do most town centres, and certainly is not going to be started by the installation of a screen. Notwithstanding the regular police drive-by car patrols, the heavy CCTV coverage and the fact that the Market Square is a no-drinking zone anyway.
Conversely, the screen may well have the effect of keeping people out of the pubs to watch it and thereby decreasing alcohol fuelled anti-social behaviour.
Sadly many of these screen discussions are like banging one's head against a brick wall. Not everyone wants to see the town revert to an Edwardian wonderland. This issue is bigger than just the Market Square itself, we've got to progress and move forward, looking back and dreaming with rose-tinted spectacles whilst fantasizing about investment will get Dover no-where.
