The post you are reporting:
Many local groups and workers and the town need the support of the D,H,B, they have for many years given out amounts of money to help the local groups, and at this time they do it even more.
So we need to give them more support not keep on running them down and in return we will see them helping the groups and town more. Yes we have seen them get rid of some very good workers and get the work done by outside a company but I am sorry to say that is the road most big companys work now the ships are doing the same.But it still brings work to a lot of local men and women.
For the very first time we are seeing the town climb out of that big black hole it has been in over 40 years and town now looks like it might have a good future.
But when the town was in that big hole for all them years the only thing that was not in that with them was the port.
It has by care fully looking after any funds it has made by putting it back into the port,and in doing that it has held the no 1 spot.For the size of the company with a very big turn over it does not make alot of money about 50 to 6o million per year which is not a great deal.you can turn and say Ha but the top persons running it are getting well paid ,and you would be right in thinking that way ,but the port need that kind of person running it, some of them could walk into a job with more cash then they are getting here that is why theyare paid that amount.The port needs them more then the other way round.
So to get best out of the D,H,B, the councils and the groups need to support the D,H,B,
The port can get along without that support but that is not the way to go,they are trying to give a helping hand more today then ever before in the building of the town so please do not cut the off the hand that feeds you.By giving them more support the Town and the port will grow and get better.Small groups like the forums are not helping even that they are just small in numbers by keep on running the D..H. B. Down.
