Probably end up being a car park ,
When I think of the number of kids we took off the streets to play football on a Friday night it's sad

So, on the theme of flattened buildings. Is anything like to be done with old leisure centre site before I die?

McDonalds. Probably better as a derelict site.

I have an inkling the Whitfield one may close eventually as the roundabout is seen as inadequate and may be rebuilt.

At least when families are driving through Dover they can justify not taking the kids to the castle with a trip to Maccy D's

What about the view to the seafront ?
What about them over priced council Flats they call the Gateway would be a nice view

Surely if you are driving down the A20 you have a great view of the castle for miles before you would see the proposed McDonald's. I never eat fast food so not particularly keen on the proposed development.

The same is true of the others routes into Dover too.

I heard they are going to run a promotion. Buy a big mac and get a free trip on the cable car to the castle.
