  2 stories in national prss about folkestone
  1) the 6th dearest in england for a pint at £4 a pint -------- antwhere in dover this price ?
  2) not going to charge for parking ------ we have areas for i hour free parking
  and going to reduce some car parks to 50p an hour ---- this would go well in dover and as said before oct- mar make to seafront a one payment of 50p a day like eastbourne

  didn't know that about the price of a pint.
  
  parking is a different issue as shepway are bringing in charges to previously free spaces.

  Brilliant idea re parking charges, at 50p per hour and 50p all day on seafront during the low season is something Dover should aspire to. It would be worth sacrificing the one hour parking free hour as these are few and far between, 50p per hour across the board would serve this town better.
  
  I can park for £1.20 for two hours in Folkestone, right in the middle of town too, so thats already a bargain at 60p an hour.
