The post you are reporting:
Tony, only two days ago someone was telling me that when he lived in Clarendon St., he could never understand why these folks can't ring a doorbell to call a friend, but instead shout or whistle from the street.
There are some factors that need addressing, the fact is, we in Dover do not have a community involvement that has the guts to address an issue by talking with a community and putting an issue forward.
It could be resolved in a friendly atmosphere, such as explaining that in England we have a custom not to shout from the street, or in the street, but to ring doorbells, or walk up to people and speak to them, rather than shouting/whistling from 500 yards away.
I recall explaining, just over a year ago, to DDC officials who were asking questions round this area, that perhaps they could talk with the Slovak families and explain to their children where they could play in green areas, rather than hanging on the main roads all day long.
The first thing I saw when going on a walk to Farthingloe a few weeks ago, at the bottom of Malvern Road, was a group of Slovak children playing football in the middle of the road, and their ball went write under a car wheel of a passing car, on Folkestone Road.
In Belgrave Road I had seen exactly the same thing happen some weeks earlier.
This is all wrong, Tony, and the local Authorities should have the guts to speak - friendly - with this community, in particular concerning conduct in public, such as shouting, flobbing on the pavement, playing along main roads and a few other tings.
Personally I feel sorry for their children, because the quantities of pollution they must be breathing in is detrimental. I smell the stuff when walking along main roads, which I tend to avoid by taking side streets. It's chemical pollution non-stop!
I also believe the Authorities here could have a nursery just for Slovak children, because they only speak Slovak, even if born here. They could employ some of the Slovak community members to run the nursery. Somewhere in a green area with play-park and a nursery building.
What I do not agree with, is that the Local Government does not bother supplying the facilities that an ethnic community quite clearly needs, but just leaves them to dwell along main roads infested with constant traffic, standing and playing alongside the passing traffic all day! This is wrong!
