Chris. Reading through the impressive array of projects for Dover, there is one question mark to start with, in the physical form of Burlington house.
Popular legend has it that it will be standing in 100 years time!
The whole Saint James project can wait till that collusus comes down, because otherwise it's a no-starter.
The monies for taking down Burlington house are unlikely to be there, and even less so those required for building new streets in Saint James.
The Western Docks project is commonly known as T2, even DHB said it won't be required for at least another generation.
Urbanisation in Whitfield is advocated by about 43 people, namely the DDC Councillors minus the LibDems, if I got it right; otherwise just about no-one wants the 5,700 houses there. The project has something to do with collecting points from the old Labour government, and we've all been told that there is nothing we can do about it anyway.
It's nothing to write a thesis on democracy on!
The people's port parish poll got a 25% turnout in Dover Town.
Money is hard to come by nowadays, and Dover has a horrendous motor-way passing through the would-be DTIZ area, full of pollution. An unlikely scene for people to get out and shop and take a deep breath of fresh air!
As hinted, most of these topics have been beaten to death, resurrected, and publicly flogged again on the Forum.
The cable-car project: that's a funny one! One would have to catch a taxi to somewhere near Eastern Docks to get to the cable car and ascend the cliffs to the Castle.
Why not get a taxi directly to the Castle, c'est plus facile!
