  Oh no not another one, the town is being devestated piece by piece. Ive heard rumours of more to go too. Its a terrible shame to see busineses that have been here for so long die away. The last time I was in Castle St the other day Cross's was being emptied out. These are shops that have clearly been here for a long time.
  
  Is this is the recession...or is it the fierce competition from both Whitfield and other out of town giants. Its easy to run there with the car nowadays...no parking fees either...prices are lower. So whats to be done.?
  
  Its worth noting too that the rates and rents to shops in downtown Dover are high. To pay these rates, prices charged to customers have to be higher. In the recession, as we know ,people are watching the pennies, are trying cheaper brands etc, so will not out of inner Dover loyalty keep paying higher prices.
