  Had this through the door from a local estate agent. Is there a surge of people wanting to move down here or just buy to let landlords unable to get decent rents in London due to the benefit cap?

  That's because their High St was voted one of the Top 10 in the UK last year, and has seen even more improvements since then.

  Deal has a lot going for it and for people on a high income great place for a second home but Priory ward has little to attract anyone other than Landlords earning money on substandard houses.

  Sadly your last comment is very true - about our Ward and many of the landlords who have properties here.
  
  I constantly got on to various departments at DDC, but in real terms, no change and now that I'm not a District Councillor, I'm not even receiving replies to my emails.

  There was CCTV in that alleyway for a while that proved successful in tackling anti social behaviour. I believe this chap is right and he knows who is responsible.

  DDC statement just about says it all, a bunch of pen pushers who don't get it and consistently show they don't give a damn about Dover and it's problems.
