The carnival has nearly always started at River, it is not the route that is the problem, it is the apathy of the people, the lack of community spirit, and the lack of local business interest, years ago if a business entered a float, it was decorated with some theme or other, and then the name of the business, but they do not seem to do it anymore, floral shops, would either decorate the Miss Dover float, or put a floral display on a float of their own, what businesses do not realise is, that by entering something like the carnival and making an effort to put on a decorated float they would be promoting that business, also we have all the legal rig-ma-role that goes with the organising, very daunting, it does not give you any encouragement
