The statutory plant growth is begiinning to appear, with the usual Dover neglect of lovely buildings................very front-line tho'......but then, again, everything is leaving this part of Town....
Anyone know their projected fate.....or have they had it
- 1 November 2011 22:47134550quite right mr norman, i posted some photos of the neglect there a year or so back.
they are/were beautiful buildings - i do not understand why they are left in the condition they are. - 1 November 2011 23:13134553Owed by DHB, and whilst people are trying to get rid of them (DHB) I can't blame them for sticking to their main business and leaving them to one sideBeen nice knowing you :)

2 November 2011 08:16134563so the hanging gardens of dover expands to the seafront. - 2 November 2011 10:52134578I appreciate that DHB might not want to spend money on them right now, but if they aren't going to, they should be put up for sale.
It's, as with everything, a matter of priorities and as they are paying rates on properties that are quickly becoming a burden, surely it's better to spend a couple of their many millions on them and then rent them out or sell them and realise much more than they'll cost to refurbish ?
We have enough buildings in the Town centre that are neglected and in urgent need of refurbishment, we certainly don't want them staying as they are or getting worse, which they will if nothing is done.
Those buildings are an asset to DHB and the Town, why allow them to turn into a liability - and an unsightly one at that ?
Leaf Hotels can't be too happy with DHB over it.
