    Whatever the reason for Pfizer's scaling down in Dover District, Howard, it turned out to be the opposite of what was forecast in the consultations leading up to the core strategy.
    If, as Vic says, only 200 people will still be working at Pfizer, it appears we may have a situation where there might be an abundance of vacant houses in Dover District, with a much higher percentage of low-paid jobs in the area, the sort of minimum wage jobs that don't allow people to get a mortgage on a new house.

    Although I do recognise that the DDC Council couldn't foresee all this, I wonder if they had consulted with economists, when in 2008 they forecast an increase of jobs in the District, and who these economists may have been.
    Consultants may have proved to be wrong back then!
