  Jimmy Long, you make a fair point regards to the question what it will look like in Whitfield if the proposed urban development goes ahead. As for nosy-parkers, that is not so!
  The implications for Dover Town and all Dover District are disastrous. Paul watkins and Roger both state that they want to create jobs in Dover by building over 5000 houses in Whitfield over the coming decades. They call this 'growth'. What they would achieve is to add thousands of peope to the list of those searching for work here (in Dover!), and effectively take away the work and livelyhood of thousands of Dovorians, and of people all over Dover District. The Middle Deal and Sholden urban development plans add even more to this prospected catastrophe.
  They verge on to paranoia claiming that more shops will open and that this will create more employment in Dover.
  So what do you mean by 'nosy-parkers'? Try reading the proposals they are trying to convince us of!
  Do you think that Dovorians and people in general in the District want thousands more people coming along and looking for employment here? Not as likely!
  It's not that five thousand plus incoming families settling in Whitfields would all open shops; they would flood the local employment market, at the supermarkets, in the banks and offices, in Dover (yes Dover) Port and wherever jobs are and will be going.
  
  Hopefully, at the comiung May elections, people will realise here what DDC's economic calculations would lead to, namely mass unemployment for many local people who are presently living here and for their children.
