  As far as I can discern, there's a plan to have a supermarket built at DTIZ, attract shoppers from far and wide, and use the proceeds to finance: 1) the disappearence of Burlington House (the cost of which would exceed by tens of times the construction of the supermarket); 2) the levelling of the multistory carpark and the clearing away of the rubble that would be lying there after it came down; 3) a Disney-land somewhere on Western Heights overlooking Western Docks; 4) a cable-car to the Castle: 5) a new berth at Western Docks; 6) maintenance of the pubplic toilets. The supermarket is supposed to create hundreds of jobs too. (The Trade Unions will explain that these people will also have to be paid from the proceeds).
  Now, following a survey I have carried out on new jobs, most, if not all of Dover's supermarkets have many closed tills, the vast majority of which are always closed. This means they work at severe under capacity. Each of the existing supermarkets could in fact employ various cashiers at the empty tills if the need arose.
  Even the idea of building 6000 new homes at Whitfield for settlers from .... wherever..... wouldn't drastically change the situation, as they'd all march to Tesco's 24/7.
