    John, I heard that also - over 50% of Dover's retail spend is at Tesco's alone.

    Which of course means that in retail terms Whitfield has a bigger economy than Dover already. Everyone at Honeywood cannot be in the town at the same time. Hence I am pro-ASDA, if that is the best we can get.

    These decisions were made of course in the 80s and the developments are here to stay - but to my mind Dover is being crushed in a pincer movement between the port and Whitfield.

    The die was cast the moment they agreed to let Tesco, a global economic power in its own right, build there. It is now a case of letting history take its course - a process which can be either slowed or hastened by further strategic decisions.

    I made a post earlier this year about the lack of joined-up strategic thinking - and agree that an American-style doughnut Dover is now our fate, whether we want it or not.
