    Roger, you write:
    "When Whitfield is being developed, so will a "Bus Rapid Transit" system, so there won't be thousands of cars steaming into Dover."

    Having thought carefully about this, I decided to do a verification test in Dover to see if this assessment on the part of DDC is correct. The results are negative.

    The verification is better carried out after 7 O'clock in the evening, when most people have returned from work or from shopping.

    Roger, try walking along Clarendon Street, Clarendon Place, Balfour Road or Victoria Park, preferably before 8am or after 7 pm.
    The parked cars line the road, often taking one third of the pavement , from one end of the street to the other.

    There are many more roads in Dover which have the same situation.

    Conclusion: in Dover town, where there is a constant bus connection, and where there is a bus station and a train station, the vast majority of people do NOT use buses, or trains, but cars.

    All the more would they do so in Whitfield.

    I am convinced DDC have carried out assessments in the core strategy which are void of meaning.
