How could anyone question the relevance of 'Bluebirds' to DOVER-misplaced, mythical or otherwise.
Do not underestimate the power of the 'Dover' brand. Bluebirds should definitely feature in a logo dedicated to Kent's most prestigious town!
Never give up...

Quite so Richard. I've never heard of anyone complaining that the dragon image is used to publicise Wales, and they don't even exist! Unless they do...

From Howard's link, the last paragraph is something that our councils should take to heart............
"The Treasury sometimes changes the rateable value of business properties, in a process known as revaluation.
So in effect, the government sets the rates and the councils collect them. It's the councils, Ms Portas argued, that could make a difference to High Streets.
"Simple initiatives like offering business rate discounts for independents and entrepreneurs, refusing Out of Town planning approval, and scrapping parking charges, will go a long way in helping our high streets," Ms Portas added.".........

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
