Dover's Masterplan
- 14 January 2018 19:20338283Regarding buses through Cannon Street, I understand that when the area was originally 'pedestrianised', council officials wanted to allow buses access but councillors said no. I think Stagecoach might need a bit of convincing these days as it would lengthen journey times and mileage, and make driver changes more difficult.Lew Finnis

Is that 'Hitler' during the war or the others after the war Captain who are mainly responsible? Because I seen great buildings I used to look at as a small child, could not wait to go down to them only see them to ripped down to dust. I seen great buildings left to to turn to dust, other buildings turn into flower pots for veg to grow. Other towns manage to keep their buildings for some reason whilst our town is turning in a parking lot with more shops opening. I think lidl is last one just opened, that on top of more new takeaways. How much do we eat in this town? I know Dover loves it's food that because we havent got anything better to do in this town and have so much choice. On a weekend the Dover man says where will we go 'love' reply 'dont know' give up thinking to a great loss, gets a phone phones chinease, kebab or other takeaway ' Ah wer'e have a takeaway!. Pubs are near empty only place in evening to go in this town....so what happened to our town and its people...and its buildings......and no NIGHT CLUB. We are being bored and fed to death in this town
?If only everyone could be kind and honest what a better world we would be in. - 15 January 2018 17:56338322Anyone remember going to Saturday pictures I do with tons of us kids 'best time' my mum would pick me up and we would go shopping in a town that was full of people and we were all 'happy'. Friday and Saturday night in this town was with night life was amazing. I know a lot is down to cost of drinks etc but if we did not eat so much we might have some spare to have some fun with the little this town offers.

Saturday morning telly has replaced Saturday morning pictures then when everyone got a telly the cinemas closed. Pubs used to be a cheap evening out, not anymore though.
Life has changed everywhere with the Interweb providing most of our needs and pleasures, Playstations or whatever the latest term is replacing playing outside for kids. Things won't ever get back to the way they were.
