The post you are reporting:
Sue, Dover is an ancient and proud town and deserves so much more than a spat over whether a recently (relatively speaking) formed administrative organisation's relatively new crests are displayed or painted over by an organisation that is entirely separate from the Town Team. I think that people generally would say that they are Dovorians, or from River, Deal, Whitfield, etc. no one would describe themselves as coming from the Dover District.
Personally, cost allowing, I'd like to see all the street furniture in Dover Town painted blue and displaying the crest of Dover Town - the District and its Crest are a modern concoction which have little or no personal resonance. But I'm not a councillor of any kind and have no say or input to the colour of the Town's street furniture or the crest that it does, or doesn't, display.
That said, the blue street furniture is DTC and not the Town Team. The Blue Birds and Town Team are merely trying to deliver something positive in the Town, with a modicum of success to date. If there is a genuine problem with the street furniture, then DDC should take this up with DTC and not throw insinuations at a business led and positive set of, non-street furniture related, developments in Dover Town.
Of course the Town team cooperate with the Town Council, as it does with the District Council; the Town and District Councillors for Dover are Dovorians and the Town's directly elected representatives, most of the Town Team are local business people who want to deploy their knowledge and experience and give their time to get on with delivering positive things in Dover rather than watch the town continue to decline whilst waiting on the delivery of DDC's long promised, and as yet undelivered, major developments.
