    The answer to your first question Colin, is probably money. DDC don't have money for such a venture - to buy a shop building and pass it over to a board of trustees to run.

    I don't think there are any run-down Council-owned commercial properties in Dover - if anyone knows of any, please do let me know.

    The idea is good, but it may be that it would be easier to "borrow" a privately-owned building for 3 or 6 months; tidy it up and use it for young people - maybe just somewhere to go to hang out - maybe a youngsters coffee shop kind of thing, or a youngsters internet cafe ?

    Maybe volunteers could take over a closed shop and do it up for local artists to show their works - some of the money could go to the artists, some to run the shop. It would reduce the number of run-down shops and buildings in Dover, without any enforcement.
