  Dover District Council and other public and private sector organisations provide services within the District that make a difference to the streets, roads and footpaths where we work, live, walk, study and relax.
  
  Over the years new services have arisen that have added to the quality of our 'street scene', responsibility for some services has changed and the economic environment has tightened. Because of these factors and the need to ensure that all aspects of our built and natural environment transform with the Council's ambitious regeneration plans, Dover District Council has carried out a major review into street scene. The review has included initial market research into public views, which were tested within the Council and then in Neighbourhood Forum events covering the whole District. This strategy is based on all of the research, benchmarking with other local authority areas and community feedback.
  
  The draft street scene strategy has been developed from public feedback and professional analysis of statutory and local priorities. This draft is now being published to enable challenge and comment from the wider public, communities, partners and previous consultees.
  
  Comments are invited on the whole of the strategy, but we are particularly interested in responses to the following questions:
  
  
  · How closely do our final service areas, Appendix 1, reflect your views of what Street Scene should be?
  
  · What other actions, Appendix 2, do you believe should be taken?
  
  · How do the priorities, Appendix 3, match to your own priorities?
  
  · What service standards do you expect, Appendix 3, and how would you wish to take-up enhanced service levels?
  
  · Have we identified the correct zones, Appendix 3?
  
  · Have we missed your community group?
  
  · Have we got the right balance by not providing any Street Scene grants without community contracts?
  
  · How can you take ownership of your streets?
  
  · How can you build on our aims to educate and prevent poor street environments?
  
  · How would you see Street Scene developing to support town centre improvements in evening and night-time economies?
