Thank you David - I take that as a compliment.
After all the put-downs and lack of acknowledgements of my efforts to help Dover move forward, I have now wiped the brick-dust off of my forehead and concentrate on other things.
Other people have determined that I now have nothing to offer Dover - other than the local electorate and for them I do my best.
I have a positive attitude when it comes to planning and look for ways to make things happen, rather than ways to stop them. I know w can't give developers carte-blanche on their developments, but we must not be too restrictive either - or greedy when it comes to section 106 or CIL money.

Roger, it was intended as a compliment.
The problem we have in Dover is akin to the definition of stupidity:
continually doing the same thing and hoping for a different result.
For decades the same type of people have walked up the same blind alleys, its time for a different approach.

You only need to go around Canterbury Amsterdam Bruges to see what's needed

I am a 'Dover Shark and proud of it, my family has lived here for time out of mind. Dover, however, will never be a Canterbury, Amsterdam or Bruges, or Bath, York or anywhere else for that matter. Dover is what it has always been, a good blue collar working class town with no pretensions to be anything else!

I think a real Doverian takes no sxxt, honest, trustworthy, helpful to anyone in need (even giving last rolo), loves thy neighbour and ready to defend the Town and its people, who are worth defending. I do beleive we go by 'Dover Sharks' also. I feel I am more of a Dover shark aint afraid of nothing and bite anyone that gets in my way 'nash, nash' 'chomp chomp'.
If only everyone could be kind and honest what a better world we would be in.

The term "Dover sharks" was applied to townsfolk who when a body from a shipwreck washed up would bite fingers off the corpse to access rings that could be sold for personal gain.
The town council recently stopped this practice and installed wavy benches as a punishment to those who would dare visit.

We were kinda like animals back then, few of us have not changed .. maybe that why I feel like a Dover Shark- because of my great, great, great, grandad. A story down the ages he always came home and said that was finger licking good. I beleive an American took his saying and applied to the KFC products.
