  Andy,your comments were expressed at the full council meeting the other night by Cllr Paul Watkins as he had obviously seen them on here.Things are happening all over the Town,yes mainly demolition at the moment and there is a long way to go.The Council with the help od SEEDA have been buying land for a long time,and there are still bits that are being worked on.As far as Dover Priory is concerned I am not allowed to pass comment on that because I work for Southeastern and as I understand Network rail are holding things up,but Cllr Watkins told me that meetings soon will hopefully sort that out,and there is talk about an additional £2m to improve the car parking for the High Speed Link which comes in in a years time.
  Now I should point out in case any of you don't know the Council is Tory run,and I am a Labour Cllr so I am not always in the loop on these things but to be fair this Council and Cllr Watkins are keeping us informed.
  Things are moving perhaps not as fast as we all you me and the Council want,and when they do move we need to watch and study each plan to make sure we get what this Town deserves.
  What this Town does need is a bit of belief and I know that is hard because we have had so many false promises or failed projects in the past,but Goverment money is now coming into the Town in large sums and this will make a hugh difference,and about time.
  The regeneration will not be eveything that we all want but will change this Town and it will not happen overnight,but surely and slowly it is on its way.
