Regeneration
What is Regeneration?
Regeneration is not just
about building houses and shops. It is about the regeneration
of a place as a whole, including social, economic,
health, education, public realm and better access to
services such as health centres and schools.
The residents of a town that has undergone regeneration should
be proud of the place where they live.
How is Dover District Council going to regenerate the
District?
Dover District Council is unable to achieve this without working
in close partnership with public sector organisations such as Kent
County Council, English Partnerships and the South East of England
Development Agency (SEEDA) to name but a few. It also needs
to work very closely with major employers of the District such as
Dover Harbour Board and Pfizer, to ensure that they not only
continue to invest in the District but that their businesses can
flourish with infrastructure improvements and a skilled
workforce that meets their requirements.
In Dover District there are 3 main towns, each with their
individual challenges. Dover, in particular, has 3 wards in
the 10% most deprived nationally. There is also a large rural
population presenting challenges of access to facilities,
transportation and sustainability.
There are a number of ways that we are planning to do this,
including numerous building projects such as Dover Town Investment
Zone, Aylesham Village Expansion, Connaught Barracks and
Buckland Mill. Various Public Realm improvements,
including Dover Priory Station and improvements to Station
Approach, Refurbishment of the Esplandade is due to be completed in
June 2010, Dover Sea Sports Centre is operational and
improvements to Deal Pier have been undertaken including a new
award winning cafe/restaurant.
Consultations of the various regeneration projects will be
carried out with the public at set stages to ensure that your views
can be incorporated.
We welcome your views on any of the Regeneration Projects.
