Why don't they just shut the whole of Dover for two weeks! The whole place seems to be dug up for road works at present. What a wonderful impression we are giving to the few tourists who venture into town.

There's also:
Temporary Road Closure - East Cliff, Dover - from 5 August 2011
It will be necessary to close East Cliff, Dover from 5 August 2011 for up to 4 days.
The road will be closed between numbers 48 & 54.
There is no alternative route.
East Cliff will cease to be One-way during the road closure to allow limited access up to the point of closure from either direction.
The closure is necessary to enable duct installation works to be carried out in the carriageway by Carillion Telent working with BT Openreach.

The northbound carriageway of Bridge Street will be closed at the junction (traffic lights) with A256 High Street, so that there will be no access from High Street or Tower Hamlets Road into Bridge Street (towards Frith Road).
The alternative route is via A256 London Road, Cherry Tree Avenue, Barton Road and Frith Road.
It is planned the works will be carried out between 7.00 pm and 10.00 pm each evening, with the road re-opened outside these hours.
Southbound traffic from Bridge Street into London Road and Tower Hamlets will be unaffected.
The closure is to enable works to be carried out to clear a blocked duct in the carriageway by Carillion Telent working with BT Openreach.
It is necessary to close Victoria Park, Dover planned for 2 August 2011 for up to 5 days.
The closure is between the junctions with Laureston Place and Castle Hill Road.

Too much like hard-work Marek, the majority of people who could do that sort of work are probably on some sort of benefit - hurt their back ten years or so ago, so are now claiming Incapacity Benefit and cleaning windows.
Of course, I'm sure this applies to only a tiny minoritry of people, the vast majority would jump at the chance of a job - any job (?).

What's that got to do with anything Brian ? A pointless stab if ever there was one.

I have to admit that since the Balfour road closure life has been bliss, even the neighbours have commented they would prefer it like this all of the time.

I see sabotage at some time in the future to ensure the 'problem' occurs again.
