I understand it has been bought & the new owners are formulating plans for it, but it needs a substantial amount of work as the roof is apparently shot & leaks like a sieve. Sadly that probably means it will get worse before it gets better.

That's a real shame, but the greed/ineptitude of landlords strikes again

I am sure the cruise passengers will take plenty of pictures when the gales eventually rip the netting to pieces. Did a toddler design that so called artwork as it reminds me of their basic building blocks?

I note that Dover Arts Development is a not-for-profit company.
Sounds like most businesses on the High Street....

See #2361.
Plenty of case studies from UK and around the world showing different strategies for transforming centres.
It's not difficult.
(From the comments in KentLiveNews
Ah the addicts at DDC have yet more get rich quick schemes for the regeneration of Dover.
All coming fast after the failure of their star project St James, which failed to give any measurable regeneration to the town.
Which just about sums it up)
