Unfortunately due to pitiful standard of local politicians in the last 30 years Dover is irrevocably doomed as a town centre.

I find it extraordinary that people involved in overseeing these debacles have the temerity to come on here and complain.
The cruise passengers are a complete misnomer, they eat and drink so much on board they barely spend in Dover.
Whereas in Venice for example? And why is that?

Correct. Which is why I opposed it at the public enquiry over 30 years ago. We are where we are with that but it is 'solvable' I can assure you (and no, it does not involve stupid ideas like putting it in a tunnel)

Correct. Again my record shows my opposition to the White Elephant Experience (which had ALL party support on DDC)
PatrickS, I can't say too much at present as there are a number of parties who still need to comit, I can assure you that I believe in transparency wherever possible so watch this space!
