I don't think I really need to state my thoughts as they are straight forward and don't contradict themselves endlessly !!
I am not saying the ideas currently previously laid out are perfect in fact (personal views not WHPS):
- I have never been a major fan of the memorial (or memorials in general, as you can see i haven't bigged it up at all in my posts) especially the original design in the Redoubt, but I am quickly coming round to it (sorry John
)
- I detest the glass elevator idea and would seriously fight it !!
- I don't like the cable cars that DDC/EH like, but I favour the concept of an integrated transports system around the various 'attractions'
- I really don't like the current CGI house design and layout but it is improving and I would want it to improve life for the residents and I am sure it can be done right
- I don't want to see the Heights scalped of trees as it isn't designed that way but there is a balance of nature/heritage protection
It may surprise you Alexander but I agree with your back of fag packet number (ish).... as I have said before the aim would be to employ skilled labourers, local people, apprentices and landscapers for an initial project period and for ongoing maintenance of the sites with people to run the attractions. Long term employment for the people of Dover.
What you fail to give when asked is how do you achieve such funding as 'just asking' isn't going to happen as no-one or body is going to give it without any major benefits to show (just look how difficult any 'small' lottery grant is to achieve) . The current proposals COULD be the key to opening up these funding routes.
Over to you......
