Together Everyone Achieves More in White Cliffs Country
Welcome to the new Industry Hub of the White Cliffs Country website.
One of the ways that White Cliffs Country (Dover District Council) supports Dover District is through the provision of guidance and information.
Within this section find up-to-date information for businesses and organisations including details on our accommodation charter, useful data and research, as well as handy guides and opportunities. We anticipate that the range of materials available through this Industry Hub will expand as new guidance is produced. If you believe there is a generic need for any advice, information or guidance please contact us and we will look to add it to the section.
