  The fact that the 'market' doesn't look like a market in any sense doesn't help. There's no definable connection between the stalls, just an unrelated straggle of traders' stalls which look like they've just rocked up in the Market Square by accident.
  
  The market needs coherence and uniformity; it should indeed encircle the fountain (sorry, chipboard art installation) in concentric circles radiating out into the square, and the stalls should all be linked, or at least adjacent, under coloured awnings, bunting etc. And there should be whacking great signs hanging from buildings around the square trumpeting the legend "Dover Market", or such-like - and even on the much-loved Telly By The Ellie.
  
  The lack of pizazz at the moment, I fear, portentously suggests that the 'market' could indeed wind up as the latest in a lengthy stream of well-meaning, but half-arsed and half-baked town centre initiatives.
