Whilst I'm all for embracing change, I remain firmly opposed to the development of a new marina in the harbour. We have a perfectly good one already, and I see the siting of this proposed new one as further erosion of Dover Beach for the sole gain of Dover Harbour Board and its richer clientele.
Bill Fawcus of the DHB has already spoken of the Marina as a done deal, and I hope to God that our councillors will mount a serious opposition to it going ahead; if Scotchie's pictures show one thing, it's that Dover Seafront belongs (and always has done) to the people of the town, and it should be kept that way rather than for the wealthy and privileged.
Perhaps if the new marina does go ahead, the Harbour Board might seek to have Aycliffe airbrushed out so that the yacht owners don't have to look at the plebs?
