I don't think it's a case for more shops in Dover: the economic turmoil prohibits people from shopping twice.
If I had enough money, I could go to at least 20 different shops in Dover and do 20 times the same shopping, but once is enough.
Shops in Dover offer everything, one sees the same things or similar in so many supermarkets and shops.
Why on Earth do we need more shops?
I would suggest some more corner-shops in the outback, such as the Clarendons and further westwards, a shop in Guston and somewhere up Barton Road, for local people who don't want to go always to the town-centre every time.
But the town-centre has more than enough retail outlets.
As for Western Heights, perhaps a few orchards here and there all the way to Caple Fern, which would create some local work and offer produce on the local market, and even for export.
Result: less imports of fruit, more exports, more employment, more financial income.
Of-course someone will explain why this is not possible.
