I appreciate the fact that they've got Mr De Haan's ga-zillions etc, but this is how they do things in Folkestone (yes, Folkestone, of all places!):

Am thinking in particular, in this case, about two empty venues in Deal - The Quarterdeck (see, even the name's similar) and the art deco former Regent bingo hall (let's throw Castle Street's glorious Images/Damages/Snoops into the hat too, for good measure).
How about some vibrant, modern, out-of-the-box thinking a la Quarterhouse for our district's sorry-looking, rotting empty venues. The community deserves it.
Debate officially open...as will be Folkestone's Quarterhouse very soon. Over to you...
