  Thanks Paul and Gary.
  
  Good to hear that things are being done. In the short term - as a simple interim solution - even a lick of bright paint on the boarded-up shops and buildings (thinking among several places, Images in Castle Street, the empty sites in Dover's King Street/Bench Street and Deal's former Regent Bingo Hall and The Strand pub) would improve the visual aspect for locals and visitors, reinvigorate civic pride amid the gloom and show that something is being done, despite the depression (to use McBroon's unspun terminology).
  
  A lot of the problem is about perception, after all. We don't want to drift into broken window syndrome territory in our fine towns.
  
  Regards all,
  
  Andy
