The post you are reporting:
Catching up on the thread - first of all no pang of guilt for starting this thread - though slightly perturbed by comments thrashing about between individuals.
The reason for my original letter comes from a deep seated love of the Heights as a whole, this is the Redoubt area, Military Hill area, the back of the Citadel, pretending to be a princess in the Knights Templar Church and that during a possibly misspent youth crawling through tunnels and the odd snog in a bunker and helped me to develop my own personal love of history and archaeology.
I am sure that I would even say to Paul aka Scotchie that we share the same passion for the historical importance of the Heights, almost two sides of the same coin but with differing outcomes.
Yes the Heights should be preserved but as they are once this area has started to be built upon it will end up just another area of Dover that will need supporting. It will loose the mystiscm that it eludes too.
My view is not NIMBYism as I no longer live up there, and I believe that there could be better investments made, my view is simply to preserve an area of Dover that is in danger of becoming lost forever to those that appreciate the beauty of green and pleasant pastures and are able to see albeit briefly into a past that just tickles the imagination, something my dad fought for and I will too.
I will happily do more for this than just post comments and replies, I will help and assist the WHPS in any capacity, I will speak to any interested party as I did recently at Dover Society, I am indeed saving my energy for the possibility of the major fight ahead, but for me, I need to reiterate that there is more to the Western Heights, The Village of Braddon, than the Redoubt and Grand Shaft area.
