Dover District Council
Local Development Framework Core Strategy
Preferred Option Consultation
"Ambitious for the Future, Sensitive to the Past "
"Economically, Dover District does not share the general prosperity of the rest of the
south east region. Nevertheless, the district has bright economic prospects over the
next few years, which could lead to around 4,000 new jobs."
"A major part of the recommended proposal is for 10,000 additional homes to be
provided on greenfield sites. Even with the new homes there would still be too few
people in the district of working age to fill all the new jobs."
"Employment
Participants believe that any future expansion of the Pfizer plant is more likely to
benefit Thanet residents than those living in Dover District."
"Demographics
Given current high levels of employment and relatively low unemployment levels in Dover and Kent, participants questioned the house building programme. There was some discussion and confusion surrounding the figures presented and some concern that incomers moving to the best houses would also have the pick of the best jobs, resulting in yet more difficulties for existing residents in securing employment."
The core strategy is based on wrong predictions.
Pfizer is not expanding, but closing, and the promised 4,00 new jobs seem to a mirage gone wrong!
