Not really Peter, because if the hoardings are removed, we are left with derelict sites behind.
DDC are responsible for these sites - they could garner so much publicity and goodwill if they were to just clear and level the sites properly and turn them over to free parking (until such time that they are built upon). How much good would that do, encouraging people to come to Dover to shop! Just think of the fantastic publicity that would generate.
I guess that requires too much imagination though, something that is sorely missing from successive councils.
