The post you are reporting:
Yes, Jan, the 10,000 + houses for Dover is the correct figure, including Whitfield.
The remaining 4,000 are meant for Sholden, Deal, Sandwich and some other localities within the District.
It is also correct to calculate an average of 1 car per household, although it would be more for areas with more expensive housing, where often both husband and wife each have a car, and even a grown child living with them may have a vehicle.
In particular in locations like Whitfield, Guston, Western Heights, Farthingloe, Sholden, all situated too far from a train station.
In these kind of estates, family members rely on a car to get to work, to do the shopping in town.
And yes, people invariably go almost every day to do the shopping, Paul.
And to work, for that mater.
