Maybe in the same way we wanted or liked those awful cardboard looking benches they tried to force on us.
I have not read anywhere on the internet one positive comment regarding those awful concrete arches.

Still has the ridiculous arch things!
But it'll be ok because "The water feature will act as a wayfinder that will be unique and recognisable to Dover." Whatever the heck that is supposed to mean?

Sue the picture with the water spouts and curved benches is an old proposal from 2018, the arches one is the latest daft plan, unless you have seen otherwise.

They are meant to be - otherwise you'll end up with an al fresco Wetherspoon's!

If DDC were to rename the area 'Vera Lynn Square', I'm sure we'd all come round.

Samuel Shenton Square has a certain alliteration to it!

The Neil Wiggins Square has had its groundbreaking - great picture of people celebrating who have never lived in Dover. Laughing all the way to the bank.
I don't know one single Dovorian who is in favour of this massive waste of money and seems to be backed up by the huge abuse DDC get on social media every time they mention it.

'On The' Square has a certain ring to it?

If we lived in a true democracy those of us who lived here would have been given the choice by the tin pot gods to pick what we would like to have seen by way of alteration be it big or small.
I bet whatever those of us who live in Dover would have picked would be cheaper that those stupid pointless dog urinal arches.

Noted
, but I say this as a woman that is the least of my worries it is the quality of our so called representatives that matters not their gender.
