Loved the vid. I lived in Deal for my first 19 years moved to West Kent for 15 years then returned as I could not afford a house in the area. Now living in Australia. We come back to UK about ever 2 years. We use Airbnb, but it is sad that the houses we stay in would have been the local first time buyers property in the old days.
Theres nothing here apart from cafes charity shops its a nightmare to drive around its full of non resisdents ..cant buy a house no where to buy clothes..no school places try getting a dentist ..doctor.. people like visiting it but then clear off ..try livin here ☹️
Deal looks beautiful.Its so terrible about locals being priced out of the town, totally NOT fair, this is where Mayors/councillors need to step in to help organise economics for local peoples. It can be done, people just need to decide to care about it, people in authority who over see the running of the town as a whole can step in to lead organising ways of running the town economically for local people and visiting people. I live in London teaching music and living is very expensive for us, everyone is being priced out of where they live in this country it has to change. I grew up in London this is my home. Something has to give we can’t all go on like this for ever. We pray daily to God for help and He helps us in every way. If it wasn’t for God through Jesus helping us and answering our prayers we definitely could not cope on a daily basis. We hope to be able to come visit Deal this summer…
Hello. What a pity that the local people have to pay such high rents now and that many shops have closed or are only open for part of the week. What are we doing to our local societies! I have suscribed. 😔😔 Thank you for showing us the real Deal. Great video.
I think I am in a good position to talk about Deal as I was born here and have come back to live here and not by choice. It's a dump and is not Whitstable. It's not that nice. The town centre is great for the Georgian Houses mainly owned by wealthy Londoners but the town centre is dire and dying and has very poor shops compared to decades past when it had M and S and Original Factory Shop and independent department stores. Now it has Poundstretcher and Poundland in the old M and S and so many places to eat. The town centre is dying with many empty shops and banks and no retail park. Most of us living in Deal have to shop out of Deal because it is so bad and work out of Deal as well. It's an old person's town and increasingly dumped from London town and asylum seeker town. I would not recommend Deal to live. Awful place in my honest opinion and yes I intend to move out as soon as I possibly can.
This is sort of what I say in the video - it's changed to accomodate the new "locals", ie folks who come down from London on the weekend. Great for eating out, drinking, live music etc... but day to day shopping? Yeah, I agree.
Yes had a holiday in Deal, many years ago, stayed in the kings head hotel. enjoyed it very much, but things have been spoilt, by over tourism and London prices, lived for twenty five years in Suffolk,things much the same, only an hour from London by train, London prices and over tourism at the week ends. Then moved to the North West, back home, yes cheap houses and low rent compared to London, but only because there is no work, Levelling up, never happened, believe me, so have a day out in the lake district, choc a bloc full of tourists, for some reason majority Chinese, mass tourism spoils a lot of places nowadays.

It's cheap compared to Whitstable that really is expensive. But I love Whitstable far superior to Dire Deal.
Absolutely agree with everything you say here. However, money talks.

Thank you! It's sad, but I am genuinely glad that folks get to enjoy my hometown
Love this!!! Is the town dangerous though?
Not at all, very low crime rate 😂
I live there and bits do go on but jsut not often

The word Cinque in this context is not pronounced as in French but as SINK. Honest.
Not for me

The problem with Deal is all the bloody DFLs.
I'm just glad that folks are enjoying this wonderful town.
Yeah Nah... Looks a Bit Shite
To each their own. Where are you from? I'm sure your town looks shite to outsiders too.

England needs some serious fixing
I think it's a dump..ugly ,boring and dull.
Eh, to each their own. You're wrong, but you're allowed your opinion 😊
