  We have been through this business of the catchment area umpteen times. In my view, Canterbury and Ashford are much less fortunate than Dover in this respect. They only have 360 degree catchments, much of which is green fields anyway.
  
  Dover, by contrast, is a major transport hub with fourteen million people passing through every year. People are being delivered here from all over this country and all over Europe. No need to settle for just trying to attract those in the locality.
  
  It is the focus of two motorways, two mainline railways, two major ferry routes and an endless succession of cruise ships.
  
  If there is no leisure business in this country that has the ability to see the potential goldmine waiting for anybody with the business acumen to put in place unmissable attractions that will tempt this river of humanity to devote an hour or two in Dover to punctuate their headless rush from A to B then it is a commentary on their own lack of vision and on our own inability to persuade them.
