IT will never has been and will never be in the same league as Dover it is a small port and will remain that way but a lot of money was spend years ago on the port and the road to it ,lets hope it will be used not only for lorrys but to take the public back to Qstend nice place to go to with lots to do and bring back the vistors to Ramsgate.

Ramsgate like Margate has a lot to offer
But like Dover doesn't do enough to promote itself

Dunno Keef.
Between Royal Sands, the biggest Wetherspoons on the planet and a Waitrose in town I think I could be tempted in a parallel universe?
Now if only Dover had a huge underused area close to a marina like Ramsgate had, which could be built upon, providing rather nice flats for incomers ........................

WHEN AND IF THE PORT OF RAMSGATE GETS UP AND RUNNING YOU WILL SEE THE TOWN TAKE OFF MORE SHOPS AND CAFES ETC ,SO LETS JUST WAIT AND SEE,the town has before told the port would reopen and then it did not happen so just wait and see.
