Battered economy in need of recovery
Series: Planning for the natural and built environment ; 13 February 2004, 14-15 (2)Publication details: 2004Subject(s): Summary: Discusses the effect that the Channel Tunnel has had on Kent's port and ferry business. Argues that the success of the tunnel has been at the expense of the local ferry business with the result that apart from the occasional freight service, ferries no longer operate from Sheerness, Ramsgate and Folkstone. With public money being put into the designated growth areas based in the Thames Gateway and Ashford, suggests that east Kent is not perceived to be a good place for investors. Includes observations from Roy Vickermann, key author of the East Kent Impact Study, and district profiles.| Item type | Current library | Call number | Copy number | Status | Date due | Barcode | |
