The post you are reporting:
Sue a good start would be affordable public transport. For those of us with family to ferry about, the public transport option becomes much less affordable when compared to the running costs of a small car. Free or nominal-cost public transport would be the answer, and a grid that covers the outlying villages (the last bus from Deal to Dover is 19.14; how ridiculous is that???) . The biggest area of pollution in Dover is the Docks (sulphur dioxide is from the ships) and the lorries (particulate matter from diesel fumes). Living near the sea, I can assure you that a car will have a covering of soot within a hour of being washed, due to the poor air quality at this end of town.
So, heres an agenda for you politicians-to-be: 1 - decent and affordable public transport. 2 - A reduction of the pollution levels of the boats; fine them if necessary to get them to clean up their act. 3 - Get the lorries out of the town; we have a western docks for those coming from M20. And if you dont want to use the western docks, improve the A2 road and get the lorries routed that way. We dont need them in our town! Snargate St /Townwall St / East Cliff could become a thriving part of the town instead of the lorry park that it often is, with the associated noise and pollution.
Or, will it be business as usual for the politicians, get reports made, waste our money, and do bugger all about it????
