  Let me first say I do not like Carnivals and Dover has not had agood one from far back as the 1970s,but that is because we do not have the conpanys here anymore to make it like it was.
  But who does this town clerk think she is,if I had still been on the town council when she put up for the job she would have been the very last person Iould have voted for.
  She is a outsider not only to Dover but Kent she only moved from the north to take this job up.She had a better paid job where she was.And I never found out why she left it but that has nothing to do with us. What does have somthing to do with us all in Dover is the way she spoke to the press.(A) a TOWN CLERK should never talk to the press it is not part of her job her job is to run the council office and staff and help any town council Cllr and the council in legal side of running the council and that is all.In my day on the council the clerk would never talk to the press over council matters that is down to the cllrs not her,her views should never had been made public in the way it was done and she should be dismiss from her job. I t is not her job to talk about the Dover canival yet alone say it is not worth any funding from the Town council she should never had said about what was in the organisers application and what was not all this is work for for the council to talk about not a member of staff.I hope what I am saying also gets in the press to let her and the council know how I and others feel about it.As I said I do not like cavnival but many do alot of familys this is aday out for them and the kids still love it. Alot more to be said about this and I hope it is said,But my view is that she should be dismissed as the town clerk and funding put back into the canvival from the DTC. On all the parish coucils I sit on the clerks never talk to the press it is the chairman of the council to do that she has overstep the mark and not for the first time.How dare she say or talk about our cavnival in the way she has done. I do not write letters to the press.I see in the Dover Express they have said email your views well this is mine.If she went the saving would be close to £50.000 per year.Mrs Cooper run the town council for along time as deputy town clerk a Dover person and she was very good.WE still have a deputy town clerk a Dover person who could take over the running of the office she has done it before,so no need for a Town clerk a big saving would be made by doing it that way.
