The post you are reporting:
I wasn't suggesting that only the DTC pay for a "Manager" Ross, but that they, along with the District and Harbour Board, put in say £10,000 each and that will pay for his/her salary and other salary-related costs and still have money left over for other initiatives.
If this is a body of members/subscribers, then their membership fees will pay for other initiatives that will go towards the Town's improvements.
£10,000 from each of those 3 bodies and possibibly other stake-holders too, will mean less of a financial burden than if it was just one body paying for it.
It's not just that Dover (and the businesses and residents) needs this, they deserve it too. For far too long people and organisations have dithered and played with it, now it is the time for a real go at it.
I believe most if not all of the above initiatives you mentioned would/could be worked on and co-ordinated by a central manager - answerable to a small board of directors.
It's tinkering round the edges too if the buildings are not improved - there's 6 months to go before the torch arrives, but even if the torch wasn't coming here, there is still an urgency on moving Dover forward.
