A wasted opportunity for Folkestone - Nothing changed in nearly 2 years

Dear Editor,
Re: The Folkestone Remembrance Line faces a reality check

I agree totally with Rodney's view.

I wrote my original message in April 2010 and nothing has substantially changed in that time.

The Remembrance Line Association still talk amongst themselves about what will be .. telling each other how they will change the world and revitalise the harbour. Unfortunately they have failed to capitalise on initial sympathy, as a result of inept and unrealistic policies.

As to the Old High Street, it has to be one of the most difficult places to shop anywhere in the town. Try pushing a wheelchair up there against the cobbles and you need oxygen at the top.

However, since reality has hit even the Folkestone Harbour Company, at least the harbour vista appears to be safe from their bulldozers.

Not so the seafront. RIP.

Yours
