Will be very curious to see what a "landscaped carpark" is supposed to look like.
Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong.

maybe this is what is meant by landscaping?

We can only hope that something does eventually come of these plans. Dover needs it ...... desparately ...... and quickly!

well observed brian, not too dissimilar to the town in the early summer.
my favourite memory is of the giant thistle in the planter adorning biggin street.

Maybe I should save the artificial flowers that come into the shop to go in the planters, in case we have the thistle and weeds again.

My Old Man has just returned from a business trip in exotic Aylesbury, where we lived a few years ago. He says I would not recognise it, it has re-invented itself and regenerated. Why, just out of curiousity, can't Dover do the same? In the same timescale? With so much to offer?

An East Kent Council would free up millions of pounds.

Yawn..... an East Kent Council would go the way of a lot of shared services and fall apart....

I was amazed to see on Meridian last night that Brighton's new ferris wheel on the seafront is nearly complete. Another example of how other areas seem to have ideas, arrange planning permission, and get things done in a matter of months. We seem to have lots of ideas but nothing ever happens in Dover. With the closure of the Castle this winter, I presume any small glimmer of realising the cable car is another project we can add to the list of no hopers.

The Cable car was talked about at the meeting that is still going ahead.Again the Castle is not closing down for the winter most of the public are working in the week anyway and the CASTLE will be open at the weekends.Most of the public are saving for XMas and will not have the funding to go up there anyway.
Shops and Landscaped Car Parks are not the way forward
How many exhibitions have we had on this renovation situation?
over the years
I really want to be postive about this....but the news from Brighton and other areas.........do not encourage this.....we seem to be so far behind.....!
There would be more to see from our Ferris Wheel (Eye) than Brighton's

Let's wait and see what next week's exhibition has to offer. Then at least we shall know what we are throwing bricks at!

Well...when you go ....ask the all important question....
When will anything start?
I think this particular development has been pursued for 30 years
This Council is so far up its self nothing will get done in this town,big wheel we could have one but council will say no, cable car two years now that has been going on council undecided, St James lies lies and more lies from council on that peace of land now the plans and a model which will take many more years for council to decide.Why cant central Government tell this council to stop its bickering and get on with getting this town back on track.You have councilors like Sue N who work so hard for there parish and others, then you have the talkers who talk good but do nothing its time they went and they know who they are.so for god sake wake up you lot Mr Hitler made a mess of this town many years ago and you at DDC have done nothing to tidy it up in fact its now worse.
