    Yes we delivered hundreds of leaflets at the weekend - words can be seen on www.newdoverhospitalgroup.org.uk.

    Unfortunately when the arguments that there is not the support for a hospital in Dover are made against this request they always add "General,acute etc" as if that is what is being asked for - not so!

    Deal hospital is a proper community hospital with beds for the elderly. Leave it as it is its fine - then let us have some recouperative beds and a proper accident unit. that makes it a hospital not a clinic. The population in question is that of the district not just the town. Sandwich and many parishes supported our need.

    We should then link our facilities with all the clinics around.

    Anyway it was apparent that the wishes at every so called consultation meeting were being ignored from the start and the mercury published the plans straight after the last one so the architects had been working long before.

    I was in WH for a week last year and had 20 visits from Dover. Where is the saving to the country in that - sustainability??? Back in in a few weeks so that starts again.....

    Anyway the big issue now is going to be parking in this town - of course at the moment you can still park in some streets in castle ward without restriction. When the hospital car park opens on the demolished william muge site the charges will be £1.7 to £6 as currently at buckland. Thus the DDC can make a fortune by putting meters on all those roads - will people pay that to the NHS or park in the street.
