Future of Cruise Terminal 1
- 29 May 2016 18:57314105Maybe all well and good for Conferences and the like but with no public transport links a market and ice rink would not succeed.

30 May 2016 10:13314126Children should be walking not needing public transport, growing up here we walked everywhere regularly to Folkestone and Deal, unfortunately parents are too lazy themselves and pander to their children.Arte et Marte - 30 May 2016 10:41314127When I was first married I walked from the bay into Dover to work at 0400hrs in the morning to the D.E.W. and then sometimes back home some 6 miles each way and my wife done the same with the pram and two dogs. So you are right they do need to walk more .I love walking but my legs will not let me do it anymore and bike.

If a train station was one of the options (it seems to resemble one already
) that would solve the public transport problem.

- 30 May 2016 12:28314138Don't see so many kids on bikes nowadays and most of them use the pavements. I suspect that parents worry about the heavy traffic. Does anyone know whether they still have the "Cycle Proficiency Test"?
