The post you are reporting:
Much as I love Dover and see all the great benefits of living here (I genuinely love it), I am horrified by the negligence of the local authorities when it comes to both promoting and maintaining the place. A unified and driven approach would reap benefits, but we get more of the same: in-fighting, political scrapping, disinterest and apathy. Not from Dovorians, but from the people paid to represent and support them. I have lived here for over 10 years and have seen little real, beneficial change: the dilapidation remains and festers, the rotten and run-down shops and houses fall into greater disrepair, the roads and pavements are abysmal, the little touches that make a difference to a town centre (as Ross says rightly, signage and bins, toilets and colour) are outrageously absent. Those paid to manage Dover should be ashamed.
