• The post you are reporting:
   
  I had an email from an ex-Dover man who came back to see a friend a short time ago and was so saddened by what he found here that he wrote to our MP.
  
  He travelled round East Kent with his friend, visiting Towns like Herne Bay, Whitstable, Ramsgate, Sandwich, Deal and Dover and his friend said why is Dover so shabby looking and uncared for.
  
  Following his visit, he wrote to Charlie Elphicke asking him to do something about it; Charlie replied to him (I don't know what he said though) and this chap recently wrote again to Charlie and me too - not sure how he heard about me.
  
  I have written back to him and he has replied. I have now asked him if I can use his letter to try and get something done - perhaps send his letter and my reply to the local Press and Town and District Councils; maybe Dover Harbour Board would like to know too, what years of neglect have done to the Town ? Maybe the People's Port Board would like to know too.
  
  I know his plea is echoed by all on here and I'm sure across Dover; his friend's view is (probably) shared by all those who visit East Kent and Dover, including cruise passengers.
  
  If he says it can be used, I will post both on here and send them to the above bodies.
