13:4793485No it is a shell. A hard hat zone with a rotten floor. In a high wind slates often fall off and land in Luigi's garden (the chip shop). There is a fireplace and a chimney stack. If the council take much longer it will fall down of its own accord.

14:5293495The thing is that if "normal" people don't shop in Dover it will be handed over to the yobs,drunks and undesirable. Lock,stock and smoking barrel.

15:0393496Vic I appreciate your offer but it belongs to the council and is part of a listed property. I am sure that a conspiracy to demolish a listed building would be treated quite harshly by the courts!

I am proud to be named as one of those "Grumpy old men" who just love moaning, and wear the title with pride.
P.S.
In case any one is not sure who I am the name is Jimmy Long

20:1593527surely if it is owned by the council it is their duty to make the building safe?
slates falling off the roof into someone's garden suggests neglect.

20:3393538Indeed. But the best way to make it safe is to demolish it.

21:1893560well jimmy i always wonder how your application to be "equality and diversity person" at the libyan embassy had gone.

21:4493572Howard,
Some one should have told you by now "I GOT THE JOB", but I turned it down alas, as I apparently was not sprightly enough. Apparently I need the body of a 69 year old.!!
