    There in a nutshell is the problem we have in Dover.

    I was on DDC at the time and the Roman Forum was the third development to fail on that site. Like so much of the DTIZ it was an expensive site, due to archaeology, to develop.

    It was the failure of this development that led DDC to decide to take a completely new approach, threatened as we were by the Channel tunnel proposals.

    A whole new tourism push including the development of the Old Town Gaol and the White Cliffs Experience. If we had not done that this site would still be a bomb site now. Instead we now have a decent museum, the bronze age boat gallery, a cinema and a library. The library and boat gallary were not part of the original concept of course but came later.
