    Much has and is being said about the state of Dover and part of the problem has been the lack of finance that the Council is able to spend (generate??).

    A couple of years ago a fine pair of Victorian Semi detached houses was converted into one bed flats. This lost a property that families are crying out for. After a lenghty time the eight flats were let but 75% are to people on "Social".

    Of course many need help in housing but what has this particular example done.
    a) The rent is paid by the Council/Government
    b) No rates are paid to the Council

    This seems a double whamy that the Council give money away and at the same time receive nothing whilst the property developer loses nothing with rent paid to him by the council.

    To me this is barmy and with it reported that the housing stock for families in Dover is scarce should so many one bed flats be developed.
