#64 they should have grown the Town when the good days of vast employment on good wages and millions of daytrippers were around, surely you can see that.

You can **** it off Mr McSwee, but it is honest and real. Like the hard time David Little is having. Because, we all saw, and see the potential in Dover, that is being suffocated, almost to its last gasp. By self serving, self seeking, devious cretins in hidden guises of Wolves in Sheeps clothing.
Just like you are killing, any meaningful thread, with a throwaway remark.
I am indeed a very sunny happy being, because I do not look to Dover anymore for anything. I am very fortunate, I saw what was coming, and made my actual life elsewhere.
It is a Shakespearian Tragedy, which will eventually play to an empty theatre.

The problem with Dover is its boring,
Nobody wants to come and stay, spend money
They just pass by
The Dover area needs entertainment, and shopping and the business that services it
Things that crate jobs and lift the place up,
The market is a start
The council are happy ,they have good wages and good pensions and very little drive for change, they just wont an easy life.
They need to stop building houses flats on the business wealth generating areas
Of the town
Encourage business, by stopping restricting opening times ,let up on excessive business rates ,give it the Amsterdam injection make it exciting for tourists.
Free up land for events,
Why not have a festival season ,something like Glastonbury around the castle ,generate money for the Dover area
Build a street of rental areas, bars and restaurants so people can move in and do there owe themes without being saddled with bullshit .
Go to the city invite the money to come invest in Dover with the brakes of.

Well in Keith Bibby.
Dover has a great fat cat lid on it, by people who do not have to fight or work hard to live.
I bet old Bob Goldfinger is a different chap in Taiwan

A good post Keith B, a shame some are only able to slag the town off and make rude remarks about fellow posters.
We have all made anti posts about Dover and also about some of our councillors and others at one time or another I know I have but today I have seen some of the nastiest since I joined.

I must say I am surprised at the venom of some posters recently; I've tried to give as informative and honest answers as I know how, but they are still not accepted - or enough.
Much of what you want Christine is outside the power of DDC - we want and need inward investment and the way that will come, is to make developers welcome and let them know that Dover want their investment and will help all they can - not give them carte blanche, but proper and pragmatic (planning) guidance - we Counmcillors must do our part by taking some brave decisions.
Keith mentions DDC reducing business rates - DDC have no control over them, they only collect them and send all the money to Westminster and they then decide how much we can have back - the last figure I know of, was 16%, so not much for what we collect is it ?
Christine's comment "that is being suffocated, almost to its last gasp. By self serving, self seeking, devious cretins in hidden guises of Wolves in Sheeps clothing" doesn't help - who are you referring to Christine ? me as a Councillor, DDC's officers ? or others ?
