    Agree with you there Paul, the port has to be fit for the commercial world that exists.

    One factor I haven't heard much discussion about is the demographic profile of the workers. I'm sure that when the charter was set up 400 years ago all of the ship and port workers were local, they left their homes and walked to work. Now the catchment area for dock and port employees is much wider, so many of them do not have Charlie Elphicke as their MP and would have no idea where Dover Town Council offices are - and of course are earning their salary here and spending it elsewhere.
