I imagine the answers to your questions lie within the political realm and hopefully one of our councillors will tell us that there is provision of 'incubator' units and low start up rents for new businesses which many local authorities seem to be doing.
What is the alternative though, Ross? Apparently, Government figures show that between 2005 and 2010, town-centre sales grew by just 1.5%, while those in out of town shopping centres grew 11.5% and non-store (mail order and internet) increased by 71.5%.
If there is to be a realistic challenge then continuing in the same old way cannot be the answer. Shoppers are voting with their feet and Dover is dying on its feet.
