    Back in the 70s Dover had an amazingly eclectic mix of retailers (national chains, regionals and independents) so much so that more people came across from France to shop here than went the other way. Sadly the early 1980's recession put paid to that and since then general indifference of national, regional and local government to town centres almost nailed the lid on the coffin. It is encouraging to see a number of local independents as well as regional and national chains bucking the trend and opening on the main shopping streets not only in Dover but elsewhere. Let's hope this is the beginning of a trend away from out of shop "one size fits all" shopping sheds and a recognition that whilst the internet may be "king on price" people will pay for the human touch; particularly high quality service and expertise.
