The last sentence of this 3 year old press release says it all, normally used by developers to get their way.

Why do Dover residents have to pay parking for seafront right up to clock Tower. I understand parking may have been put in place to deter being parking useing the ferry and for work etc many years ago. But families in Dover a lot cash strapped have to pay to just go to the beach there. Just want to say that waited some years to say it in fact because I stopped taking my children there because of parking fee's.
Who owns the area where we have to pay parking charges or is it a public road way?
If off topic sorry but my question relates that area.
If only everyone could be kind and honest what a better world we would be in.

I think you'll find that The Esplanade and Marine Parade are, unlike Union Street, adopted roads and that the parking regime and its charges accrue to the Council.

Port police are the ones who patrol and enforce it so I assumed.

another milestone for the Port of Dover's flagship Dover Western Docks Revival (DWDR) development, Buckingham Group Contracting Ltd has been awarded the contract to build the new Refrigerated Cargo Terminal (RCT).
With a value of £15million the contract will deliver the construction of a 9,630 square metre multi-purpose refrigerated cargo facility designed to meet the future demands of the business. The new RCT will be an externally clad steel frame building with state-of-the-art facilities including eight chambers, each individually temperature controlled and capable of holding cargo between +1 and +14 degrees Celsius (+/-1C), with 20 dock levellers to produce a rapid turnaround for Port of Dover Cargo Ltd customers. Dave Herrod, DWDR Programme Director at the Port of Dover, said: “The appointment of Buckingham Group represents a significant milestone for the Port. “Projected increases in cargo volumes present a golden opportunity to further develop the cargo business and this is key to why the Port is delivering the Dover Western Docks Revival now.”
Scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2019, the terminal will be served by completely new marine and land infrastructure including two cargo berths (Berth A: 251m and Berth C: 300m, plus a dolphin) and Gottwald 5 series mobile cranes. During construction of the RCT building over 70 jobs will be created. Andy Morris, Senior Project Manager at Buckingham Group Contracting Ltd, said: "We are delighted to have been awarded this exciting, high-profile contract. “We are looking forward to working with the Port of Dover and other contractors to deliver one of the most important cargo projects in North West Europe and support the creation of new jobs for local people.” Sam Stewart, General Manager at Port of Dover Cargo Ltd, said: “The new multi-purpose cargo terminal and ongoing transformation of the Western Docks will equip the Port of Dover to meet future demand for cargo services and to strengthen its position as the ultimate strategic location with fast, dedicated and direct access to the wider UK and Europe.”
DWDR is the single biggest investment ever undertaken by the Port of Dover and represents the next exciting evolution of the Port, delivering long-term capacity for a key international gateway handling trade to the value of £122bn and representing up to 17% of UK trade in goods.

Would be interesting to know the width bearing in mind anglers will want to indulge their hobby.

Misdirection is a form of deception in which the attention of an audience is focused on one thing in order to distract its attention from another. Managing the audience's attention is the aim of all theater; it is the foremost requirement of theatrical magic. Whether the magic is of a "pocket trick" variety, or, a large stage production, misdirection is the central secret of all magic. The term is used to describe either the effect (the observer's focus on an unimportant object) or the sleight of hand or patter (the magician's speech) that creates it.
Those of you who have listened to the Mp3 recording of last week's Scruitiny Meeting at DDC might have heard Tim quickly mentioning the projected 500 dwellings at the DWDR development.

#237 I would put money on there being no fishing allowed on the new pier, they might allow it on the seaward side of the new marina breakwater but I suspect not.

Casting my mind back the original drawing of the new pier showed a shelter at the end with seats but nothing along the sides. With no café and no angling it's hardly a replacement for the old one.

They are calling it a pier, though in reality it is just a breakwater for the new marina that you can walk along and the shelter is just somewhere to mount the marina approach lights

The capping on the new pier started recently working from the beach end
while further pre-formed concrete blocks (brought in from Northern Ireland) are being slotted over the piling and on which the capping blocks are set.
