re; post 10, connaught barracks is earmarked for development.
ray
rather ironic in a week when we have had that terrible accident in the same road. - 6 August 2010 16:5064284Thanks Howard, but then so is the DTIZ area and nothing is happening their either.
Dover needs two things it seems to me. A hospital of sorts and new homes. Connaught Barracks is ideal for both but has stood empty for years. If we'd allowed it to be another prison at least we would have had jobs for locals rather than an empty site.
I thought the campaigners from the political ranks knew there was a readymade alternative use for the site, but it seems today all they've acheived is stopping something that may have helped the local economy. Cutting nose, spiting face and all that.
- 6 August 2010 17:3964304the problem is we are much better at stopping things happening in our town than getting things to happen.
personally i would have thought connaught ideal for a hospital.
plenty of car parking, buses pass by though the service would have to improve and if necessary a cab fare would not be prohibitive. - 6 August 2010 18:2864314Alec. Glad you enjoyed your time in Deal. Next time you are there try the Black Douglas for coffee (83 Beach Street). Highly recommended.
If you are served by a rather tall dizzy blonde ask my daughter where all the post is she is meant to be forwarding me. Grrrrrrrrr.
