  Hi all,
  
  What a great idea (see below).

  Good to see Dover punching at its proper (heavy) weight again.
  
  Let's keep this sort of thing up.

  This appears to be a French initiative. The management of Eurotunnel are French nowadays as I remember and they seem to be the ones driving it forward along with Calais. Good luck to them with the initiative as it could benefit us all.

  This is something that DDC started bqack in 2003 when the Conservatives came to power, but I believe it was put on the back-burner whilst the regeneration programs were being worked on.
  
  If World Heritage Status is granted, there are severe restrictions on what can be done.
  I must admit though that it didn't stop Canterbury's regeneration a couple of years ago.

  Anything that will promote/help Dover in these dreary days has to be looked at
