The post you are reporting:
I am trying to figure out what exactly DDC aim at, what and who they work for, apart from Dover as a locality on the map. Paul Watkins stated that people working in Dover but living outside, should settle here.
Roger states that people working in London can also settle here!
By law, it's possible that people can move from one part of the Country to another and settle down, but if DDC has a specific promotion plan to do both Paul Watlkin's plan and Roger Walkden's, then at least I know where we stand. Unless Roger meant something else, I understood it as I have pointed out here.
The reason why I want to make sure here of his intentions, is because I am pretty convinced many people here in Dover don't agree, and when campaigning, I don't want to give wrong information, hence these two posts. Ultimately, the Council Elections will decide which plans for Dover get promoted at the Council.
Usually, a Council is supposed to represent the people within the boundareis, not people who don't live there.
Adding to this, one would assume that many people would leave an empty house behind if they move to Dover, so DDC seem to be planning an internal migration from, let's say, for example, Aldershot and Hastings and wherever, or Glasgow if you like, to Dover. But what do other Councils think, when they have empty houses left because tens of thousand migrated to Dover?
It's not a coherent policy, it does not reflect a national necessity, nor a local Dovorian need.
It has nothing to do with dedicating mind and sould to the Community, but is all about trying to change the demographic identity of Dover.
May-be Mr. Walkden would like to know that I might have moved to Elmsvale, or my son, or grandson, or their children!!! I can't see local unemployed people being satisfied with local jobs, but rather one never ending invitation for all and sundry to come here and open shops.
