    16 councillors for 6 wards seems excessive
    With a population of c30,000 people that gives a ratio of 1 councillor for each 1939 people which seems on the low side perhaps a reduction to no more than 12 town councillors would be in order giving a ratio of 1:2585

    Likewise at District the proposed reduction is ok giving 1 district councillor for each 3200 residents (Deal - 8, Dover - 14, Aylesham - 2, Sandwich - 2, rural areas - 8), but perhaps could go a little further to say one per 5000 people dropping it to 21 councillors
