  Andy yes the Boulogne link should be encouraged and hopefully will be widely used. Having the seacat running there was a terrific incentive for visitors to have a day out so its withdrawal does reduce the novelty factor of a trip there. Boulogne is probably like Ramsgate in our terms, perhaps nice to take a trip from there but no doubt Dover is the main player..as is Calais over there. Calais is a serious weighty port with a considerable eye on the future. Best if Dover keeps in harmony with that development although it may mean indeed, as Colin says, more trucks on our roads. Our trading with the EU isnt diminishing any time soon...so its all growth.
  
  Phil yes the new exit road is working well up to a point. But there is a probelem which has been highlighted recently by Nigel Collor to the Highways Agency. Its a problem for locals. Local drivers can not turn left onto the seafront. Come down Jubilee Way, turn left along the front, and if there is a big load of trucks exiting the new Exit Road, now called Olympic Way I beleive, then you cant turn left to get to the beach, to the seafront, even to the Gateway.. heaven forbid!. Its impossibly dangerous. But apart from that...
