Dredging the Goodwin Sands

Biggles Wader said:
Dover is totally focussed on the port,mainly ferries but also cruise ships and a small reefer cargo operation.Oh,and a marina.Nothing else matters to the powers that be so the rest of the town has been allowed to decay for many years,and most of it is cut off from the harbour area by the A20 and its constant stream of port traffic.The port makes a lot of money but most of that never gets to the town,even the people who work there tend to move out to much nicer areas because they can afford it, leaving the old town to the poor and unemployed.
However,there is a big new development going on and there is some grasp these days of the potential for the town.It has every bit as much history as Chatham,the best intact medieval castle anywhere,the most famous cliffs in the world and some of the greatest sea views and walks.They need a bit of vision and leadership and they need to get rid of that bloody road that ruins the town.

KCC has allowed bloody horrid noisy pestilent road dividing its county town, destroying probably its major asset, the river,doubt they will be worrying about Dover.
The car rulz.
 
Our planet is a massive graveyard for the 100 billion humans who have died so far, will any further development be allowed by the legions of bored retirees in search of any cause to get emotional about.

Ah! But about half of them were born before 1 AD, and we seem to think it is fine to dig 'em up and expose their remains to all sorts of tests in the name of scientific (or archaeological) research. ;)
