The post you are reporting:
Fair comment Ross - not sure if it was aimed at any one in particular, but (generally) people grumble or make suggestions because they care, not because they are (necessarily) negative.
Individuals can get off their collective backsides as you call it, but an individual without any sort of backing or support cannot do very much.
I appreciate the success the LRCF achieves; the Priory Forum community group exists to help improve the Priory area of the Maxton, Elmsvale and Priory ward.
We are working on developing our next project and we do that relatively quietly, buit when we need publicity, we go for it; it creates awareness and generates interest in what we're doing.
The Town Centre of Dover is a bigger thing altogether and needs a person to work full-time on initiatives and projects to move the Town forward; to help Dover reach and achieve its full potential, but this person needs the moral and financial support of the main stakeholders in Dover; to my mind (although Peter thinks otherwise) these are DTC, DDC and DHB.
I have never said (recently) it must be me, there may well be other people who love Dover, want to see it move forward and have the respect of the business community, plus the ideas for projects and initiatives to move Dover forward.
If we don't shout about what needs doing, people won't hear it and if people don't hear it, nothing will get done.
