  A department store would hopefully draw people into Dover from other towns in East Kent - after all parking is becoming more of a problem in Canterbury - and they'd be able to combine shopping with a visit to the seafront, which will stimulate the cafe culture and restuarants that are needed to develop a nightime economy. This would also attract visitors from the continent. The French were devastated when Marks & Spencer closed their store in Paris! Hopefully, people will eventually realise that the market potential for Dover isn't just from the local populace but also from the 15 million people who pass this very site on their way to and from the port.
