The post you are reporting:
Keith, I am not just grumbling about DDC, they have very little money spare to do anything and as we all know are capped, so cannot spend above a certain limit.
If we are party-bashing, it must also be remembered that when Labour were last in power at DDC, they closed the White Cliffs Experience, the Old Town Gaol and the Grand-Shaft and decimated the budget of Dover Museum, so don't try point-scoring on Tourism, as Labour have always been worse.
The Town Council also need to take some responsibility - and who is the major party there ?
Tourism should be/is, very important to Dover's economy, but it is not being exploited fully; Dover as a proper destination would be transformed and everyone would benefit; but, and it is a big but, the Town as we have all said, needs smartening up and being made more welcoming.
We've had another summer wasted, although there have been more visitors to Dover; maybe, just maybe, someone will pick up the mantle and organise things so that next Easter, Dover will really take off - at last.
