    Alexander, I wasn't saying that doing up that particular church was either vain or a waste of time......I simply said that Notre Dame was gloomy, that's all.

    With regard to the church you're on about, I would agree that it is an eyesore that does need doing up, however the company that own it had almost completed its conversion to private apartments when the fire destroyed it. Thus it's not public property that can be done up with public money, nor is it Church property that can be done up with Church money. It's simply private property, and as you're doubtless aware there are plenty of privately owned eyesores in Dover already which the powers that be can do nothing about. Ask any member of the London Road Community Forum, privately owned dumps are their biggest bugbear. So the beautiful old church gets added to the list - sadly, a fact of Dover life.
