Dover in 2019
- 1 January 2019 17:183530782018 was quite exhilarating with the completion and opening of the St James development, conversion of the former Coop building into an innovation centre and progress made at the old paper mill.
Looking at this year the new state of the art leisure centre is due to open shortly, the Buckland bridge pissoir will be converted into a heritage centre and the Western docks should near completion which will kick start a plethora of designer shops and bistros, DAFC will avoid relegation - so another exciting year ahead. - 29 January 2019 12:46353943

.
"The new Dover District Leisure Centre is to open to the public at 9am on Monday, 25 February. Builders, BAM Construction, are due to formally handover the building on time and on budget to Dover District Council and operators, Places Leisure, on Friday, 15 February.
The existing Dover Leisure Centre on Townwall Street will close at 5pm on Sunday, 17 February to allow for the transfer to the new leisure centre and for staff training at the new facility in Whitfield."-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

I've often speculated that Dover should have produced at least one diving champion by now, given the amount of local kids who spent entire summers jetty jumping.
