  In general response to some of the recent postings. I support the concept of new blood. I have new blood in my Cabinet and Chairing committees.New blood won't bring you regeneration to Dover any quicker. Regretably it is the local government systems put in place by Westminster that are the problem. Ability to make decisions without other public service quango's vetoing what should be local government's responsibilities is a major factor.Inability to set charges i.e. capping  to deliver what the public want.PC agendas that hamper swifter working and create risk adverse attitudes.Collection and processing of irrevelant statistics and performance data that the public don't care about.We want the same aspirations as you. Employment, leisure, education ,skills and training,quality of life, I could go on.There is little difference in the political parties aspirations for Dover locally, we tend to agree and support what the public want. No party/group  whether with new blood or not can deliver rapidly in the present system.No party/group can deliver what the market will not support without public subsidy and that is not available in today's financial crisis and has not been available for nearly a decade.
