After you read what's been written and actually evaluate the content, its little more than an advert for the local estate agents. Folkestone has always been one of my favourite places for a walk around, and although for some reason I've never really liked Deal, I certainly wouldn't call it shabby. Perhaps the author should get off their lazy rear end and visit Ashford, or the Medway Towns if they want to see some shabbiness...holiday in Gravesend anyone ?

A missed letter or two can change the whole meaning of some written articles !
Zoe Bare All, I believe, meant the headline to read:
How the East Kent coast became the new Shoreditch
The rebirth of Dreamland shows why PREVIOUSLY shabby resorts such as Margate, Deal and Folkestone are now a magnet for fashionable buyers priced out of London
Do nothing and nothing happens.
