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 private investors and public
sector partners such as Kent County Council, Homes and
Commuties Agency (HCA) 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:
An example of the regneneration underway is the refurbishment of
the Esplandade, the new Dover Sea Sports Centre and an
award winning restaurant at Deal Pier - all now open and
attracting visitors. Public Realm improvements, including
Dover Priory Station and the
Station Approach are well advanced, the first thing seen when
visiting the town by the High Speed rail link.
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.
