I certainly would not walk from one end of town to the other to do my shopping and most people will not nowadays. That is why out of town shopping centres are booming and High Streets are in decline.
Dover's ribbon development is suited to 19th century shopping habits but for the 21st century a revolution is required.

I would happily see Pencester built on. It is a shadow of its former glory and an unpleasant experience as you run the gauntlet between foul mouthed yobs and drunks.
If the town is to have a shopping zone this would be an ideal location and I would turn the DTIZ into a green area that might attract people to stop and explore the town.
The last time I mentioned these ideas Barry W reported that a London based development firm had been commissioned to draw up a survival plan for the town and came up with pretty much the same suggestions so I am not just a lone voice.
