  I have met one or two councillors personally - John G for example comes across as knowledgeable and passionate about the town.
  
  Just questioning whether these incredibly far reaching proposals have been fully thought through and whether the individuals concerned have the experience and know-how to make such historic strategic decisions - nothing less than a near-doubling of Dover's size, surely the biggest housing growth spurt in over 2000 years of history.
  
  I am sure they are under pressure to tick boxes put there by the government - whose own planning is open to question.
  
  No one is questioning the need for growth and new housing - the debate is over where to put it, how much, and what, we should build. Sure, develop some more land at Whitfield, but not on the scale proposed, and make more imaginative use of brown field land in ther town, especially flats and houses within walking distance of the Priory Station to attract high speed rail commuters.
