  I'm struggling to think of any councillors within the Tory hegemony who have been resident in central Dover since I became interested in local politics. The attitude has always struck me as being one of leaving the town and the harbour (i.e. DHB) to plough its own furrow. The historical assets are unco-ordinated. Western Heights, Roman Painted House, Grand Shaft - there is no coherent unity in their marketing. NH runs the castle, of course, but has no real interest in sharing their clients with the town.
  
  They'll happily spunk away the Farthingloe Valley for a few housing brownie points and a party donation in the full knowledge that luxury out of town houses will add no value whatsoever to the town centre.
  
  And then there's our beloved DTC. What more can one say?
  
  I do share your despair but there are one or two local candidates who do their best.
