  I have often, and will continue to do so, questioned the idea that massive house buildings can be carried out without thought for the infrastructure that needs to go with. The glib answer I have recieved so often, particularly from DDC, is that, "once the housing is there the rest will follow". This is clearly a nonsense and our infrastructure continues to decline. Normal public services such as litter bins, public toilets and even benches are being removed by DDC at an alarming rate and whole threads have been run on the decline in schools, medical facilities, post pffices etc. Building homes is one thing but who will buy them if there is nowhere to send the kids to school, you can't get hospital care without travelling across the county, the streets are filling up with litter and if you do find somewhere to go in the evening woe betide you if you want to spend a penny. DDC's 'big ideas' for the town (a cheap supermarket and a cable car to rush any visitors out of the town and up to the castle) look set to make things worse rather than better. And lets not start on what it means to our already congested roads.
  
  This is a great and historic town that should be treated as such not as somewhere to send the goods lorries while retiring to Deal.
