According to this people in Dover earn more than the national average wage.

For some it is still more lucrative to stay on benefits than work in Dover. Considering the relatively low rents in the area £23,000 would provide a very comfortable lifestyle.

low rents Howard??? £650 a month and onwards .... I am not sure if that is cheap.
reading about the Benefits too ... How on earth can you get £26000 p.a. ??

Low in comparison to the rest of the South East Heike, the rent you quote comes out at under £8000 p.a. which still leaves £15000 grand left over even after the benefit cap. That is why work doesn't always pay for some.
