Bern & BarryW.
Basically, most of us want the same thing, it's how we go about getting it.
Our views or solution's, will often differ, not because they are wrong but because we are looking at it, from different view points.
Any new shops would be good for Dover/Deal, including a Waitrose but no use to me, as I cannot afford to shop there.
However, a lot of the shops I can afford to shop in are closing, QS, Peacocks, Netto's, Bonmarche etc.
Unless we start looking at this from all viewpoints and start working together for everyone, things will only get worse but only for some,not for everyone.
