Dover - looking really bad

[si_xsi]

I've done a few road trips into Europe over the last 2 years and generally take the Ferry from Dover to Calais if we are not pressed for time as a. its usually cheaper and b. quite nice to stretch your legs and take in some sea air!

Has anyone else noticed how appalling Dover has become? I might be looking through rose tinted glasses but I never remember it being this bad 20 years ago. The boarded up shops, derelict petrol stations, it looks awful. As one of the main gateway's into the UK from Europe, I would of thought the Government would be regenerating the area. I guess the main problem faced is unless you live there, no-one is stopping to shop and there is nothing interesting to see, but it could be tidied up a bit. I guess you either work in the Port or not. Must be a lonely and strange place to exist.

Anyway, real life problems and all that. What's the solution?

Total sh!t hole, I took this in the summer while waiting in the queue of death for 2 hours to move 1 mile from the boat.

Yes this is exactly what I'm talking about! Its like its been left to rot and no money spent on the area at all.
