10 April 2018 10:45342259Well actually I don't but hopefully DDC has?
Tomorrow at Fort Whitfield the Great and the Good and Uncle Tom Cobley and all meet as the LOCAL PLAN PROJECT ADVISORY GROUP
https://t.co/ahTDm1zOpO
Hopefully it will be better than their last Local Plan which was:-
1) Build loads of houses for displaced Londoners
2) Do whatever DHB wants
3) Errrrrrrr that's it .................."The world is still a weird place, despite my efforts to make clear and perfect sense of it".
Dr. Hunter S Thompson - 10 April 2018 10:59342263I never enjoyed that committee,felt too many houses were being built.The decisions were only recommendations which were decided upon elsewhere.
- 10 April 2018 11:02342265Wasn't it all about "Growth point status" whereby the Government gave money to councils if they built lots of houses?

In essence - yes! Don't forget that in Dover District about 400 of us drop dead each year, and in spite of the stirling efforts of single teenage mothers in parts of the district we only have about 200 births. We should actually be needing fewer houses - not more! I wonder if there is any reason we 'need' to build? Perhaps Dominic Raab might be hinting at the reason?

10 April 2018 14:21342279one problem.
1/ displaced Londoners will need a passport and visa to come across the Dartford crossing.
2/harbour can bugger off unless they provide 45% of there earnings to clean up dover town and surrounding areas.
3/that's it for starters. - 14 April 2018 11:42342486If I may:
Firstly birth rates are falling for the British whilst others are rising making us a lost course in the future. I thank every british single mother and mother who gives birth in UK.
Good cheap housing for the younger generation would help with increasing birth rates in UK, we are housing more outsiders than our bloody own who are having children day in day out whilst the british scrap by AND THAT IS NOT RIGHT!. Mothers today have their daughters, children and their partners living in their homes or renting from greedy filthy Landlords drying up all their money-whilst we use our social housing to house-OUTSIDERS - sorry to say it but is true.
Houses are needed, our youngsters are renting from overpriced landlords for filth accommodation happening in Dover and again nearly all those cannot afford to have a family because paying too high price rent with everything else. We are going back in time not forwards before the war people were renting filth accommodations basically it was slums everywhere really mainly. Social Housing after war and re-building put end to that people had decent homes. Than bloody Thatcher started the selling and that was the end of the good life in this country.
Why do DDC think young couples or woman or a men don't need accommodation? Everyone needs a bloody home more so the homeless of Dover, Londoners mean nothing to me Dover People do because this is our town and should be about Dover People no-one else.
Not all can afford the high priced housing and the dwindling amount of houses means higher prices-Dover being one of them. Wales gives a better offer of housing and did my eyes nearly drop out to prices I may move there for a better land and better price.
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHERE ALL THE MONEY GOES IN DOVER BECAUSE A LOT GOES IN AND A LOT NOT NOT DONE.
I have not seen anyone with any brains in Dover to make a difference that will last - were running on a load of steam and not long before there is a big crash to it all. The whole thing in Market wont work its simple and sorry to say ive been here all my life and I can see what is coming. Very people who do not live in Dover are bringing Dover down to its knee's.If only everyone could be kind and honest what a better world we would be in. - Jan Higgins

I can see no reason why the Market Square plan will not work, it looks a very plausible scheme to me.
Maybe your negative viewpoint is because you have "been here all my life". It is the totally negative view from people that is to blame as well as our councils' inadequacies, far to many of us complain but happily sit back and wait for others to improve things.
Back to housing.
Many can afford the actual mortgage but find it almost impossible to save for the deposit, either because they are low earners or still want to have it all so spend their money on holidays and nights out rather than properly save.-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

Social housing is on a points system, number of children etc and nationality doesn't come into it.Guest 1713 likes this
