We're being fobbed off!! says CLLR Hannent
David H (Hannent) councillor of my ward has been out and about delivering leaflets to the residents, one thundered onto my doormat this very morning, in a huge solo and valiant effort trying to regenerate the hospital idea into something more than we are getting. Although 30,000 people signed the petition demanding a hospital, and 1,000 marched including myself..the PCT did what they were presumably going to do all along...ignored everything and everybody and went their own sweet way.
"Their(the PCT) application was strongly supported by the DDC" says David Hannent, so it looks as if the Dover District Council have failed to represent the people of Dover and failed to fight for what the people want.It would be interesting to hear their view on it all.
What we all wanted was a general hospital(preferably in the Whitfield area because of the expandibility)
what we are getting is a day care centre, open daytime only, with no admissions, no beds, no room for expansion, no real parking, and in the centre of town(no expandibility).
I suppose the only aspect of the outcome that appeals is the fact that its in the centre of town but the whole initiative as started by Reg Hansell has fizzled into nearly nothing.A great passionate and united cry from the people of Dover has been frittered away on the wind...their needs torn up into a thousand pieces
