  Progress???? to watch our town die is progress????
  I fully understand the multi national companies can always beat the little town centre one small shop.
  And yes people will make use of the tesco's etc, but never the less the town itself is dieing, ands no matter how you look at it, is that realy what Dover needs?
  Is the first thing tourists see as they come off the ferries/train/bus/cruise liners an empty town?
  It was always a sad move when the District counciol encouraged business's out to Whitfield, it was the beginninhg of the end for the town centre, I said so at the time, and on here I did say out of 45 cllrs only myself and d smallwood voted to stop it happening.
  
  
  But that has all gone now, and even at this very very late stage I hope anybody and everybody that has any influence will fight to keep the local shops local and help those shops in the town centre to survive(they cant throw £millions at things.)
  
  The alternative is to see what you see in many towns up north like was shown recently in Barnsley town centre shops(ex)streets and streets of boarded up shops, do you want that for Dover? I don't !!!!!!
