This article is a bit disappointing, especially since there have been so many changes to it. It is very much of a "cobbled-together" thing, without any headings or seemingly any flow. History is mixed up with today, for example: and seems not to follow a chronological order. There are some sweeping statements - such as the one where "Dartford has become a dormitory town for commuters to London". I cannot believe this to be other than sheer guesswork: knowledge of the area will show that there are a wide variety of occupations in the borough which will need local employment. As a start there is the huge area alongside the Dartford Crossing ("Crossways") and that is just one of such areas. Of course a lot of people DO go on the trains at rush hour - but do they all go to "London" (whatever that may mean!)?
I don't have time at the moment to make any changes, but I would suggest that the classic arrangement of the article ought to be:

The Dartford article has recently had an overhaul, and as follow-up has been nominated for peer review. Since editors to this article are likely to know something about Dartford as well, any edits you can make to the Dartford article or comments on the the peer review itself would be very useful. Thanks in advance! Jdcooper 23:17, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
