    I suspect Dover small businesses are being killed, not by once a week markets, but by the horrendous rates they have to pay. At least that is what I overheard one shop keeper complain of. My husband counted 15 shops boarded up between Castle Street and Tower Hamlets Hill. And after all, there is precious little else to bring people into town for. No art galleries, no craft shops (I mean selling local crafts), etc. At Christmas time I noticed that all the shops that spring up selling market type goods seem to be crowded and doing well.
    A market can only be a good thing. So thanks Roger, for doing the ground work.
