  Neil,
  The vision of an hgv free Dover is now just that, regretfully.
  
  The reference to your second paragraph is of course correct. This is exactly why the A20 into Dover should have linked to the A2 inland of the town.
  
  With the A2 as the primary route for hgv's into Dover there would have obviated the necessity in having a years disruption along Snargate and Townwall.
  
  DHB could still have had their cargo facility at Western Docks (although I retain grave reservations about the extent of the reclamation and infill that would be needed) with the necessary road improvements and infrustructure requirement at that end of town.
  
  The result, as you rightly point out, would have substantially improved all our quality of lives - less congestion and pollution, less 24 hour noise from hgv traffic, reduced construction costs and times and a more integrated town with its great and well used sea front.
  
  Such is the stuff that dreams are (now) made of.
