    Having discovered this website and having read through most of the posts, I would just like to say that actually it wasn't uproar from the public that saved Connaught Park back in the 80's. I lived in Park Avenue back then and I organised a small local petition and was then invited to DDC along with another local resident to discuss. Several thousands had already been spent on a feasibility study by this time so I wasn't hopeful but to my joy, Peter Sherrard, representing Dover Chamber of Commerce also attended and very eloquently 'wiped the floor' with the officers involved in the scheme. Connaught Park survived to live another day but it's shocking neglect has been slowly eroding this beautiful green space, dedicated to the people of Dover. Once lost there will be turning back so I thank all you volunteers from the bottom of my heart and whilst I cannot offer assistance, (arm in plaster following surgery) I fully support such a brilliant effort. Thank you.
