In the name of not writing in circles, Brian, the point is, whether immigration be perceived as a problem or not, whether one person supports large-scale immigration and another person supports it on a limited scale, the fact is, all said and told, that the DDC core strategy does not have an assessment on immigration, either in the years leading up to its approval, nor for the future.
For example, the core strategy does not mention that the citizens of 26 countries have the unlimited right to settle in Britain, and that Dover has a very large population of immigrants from the East of Europe as a result, that has grown very fast since 2004, and is ever expanding.
This alone makes the core strategy unreliable, as it has been presented to the local Public under disguises of various sorts, but does not address one very important issue, that of immigration.
The core strategy also has other remarkable failures, including the failure to mention that London Road, the only route out of Dover back to Whitfield, where over 6,000 new homes would be built, has already reached maximum capacity and could not cope with the increased traffic resulting from such a massive influx of migrants to Whitfield.
Barton Road is in a similar condition, as too Frith Road, Pencester Road and Biggin Street, and several others, that would be directly affected by the DDC core strategy.
There is failure to assess the stress on Dover's residents from the already existing traffic, and the increased stress which would be caused by the added traffic deriving from the establishment of 10,000 new homes in Dover and immediate vicinity.
It fails to address the pollution problem as at present, and as it would result as a consequence of the core strategy being implemented with what could be 10,000 more cars transiting daily through Dover.
It fails to make local residents aware of the serious health risks we already endure owing to the traffic situation in Dover.
Hopefully all are reading this!
