Thanks DT1,all was after was asking Andrew where he lives,because I understand he doesn't live in Dover but attacks everything that is being suggested,frustration is understandable as I think most Councillors will tell you they are frustrated by the slowness,I also agree about the Big Supermarkets,I remember when a well known sports shop came to the Town and someone said isn't it good 3 sports shops in Dover.Well the 2 independent shops couldn't compete with the multi-chain shop.Result 2 small shops closed.
If this Big Supermarket does finally and according to Paul W atkins it is still on track,then I can see any shop that sells anything that this Shop sells going down the Swanee,yes it helps that we have shops that sell food cheap,no problem there,but if they sell say T.V.'s what chance has any other shop got.I also agree we need to bring new people to shop in the Town as the 35,000 people in and around the Town will only go so far,with an A**a in Thanet Canterbury and Folkestone it will not attract the new people this Town needs.
Then if the Jobs are not here,we will build houses for people to comute out of the Town,and so spend little here,and we may end up as bad as we are now.
