The post you are reporting:
Why all this WILL JEOPARDISE JOBS when the only jobs so far are in doing the construction work [how many locals? You can observe the Gallaher Construction Company, busing their employees in and out of St. James's.
All other jobs are dependent on developers/invetsors joining to project. The grand total at this time is NIL.
Any extra staff needed for the the freight yard will depend on it attracting more reefers than it does at present so again at present NIL.
Have heard all these promises before none came to fulfillment.. Look at the time it has taken with Whitfield, St James and Poulton Close industrial estate never full.
All promised jobs so where are they? All the other jobs forecast are for shops and tourists cafes etc so why would they coming to Dover? Is it to use the shortened beach with limited activities? With, no activities at all.
It isn't for the POW pier, nor the fishing. Loads of income and enjoyment has been lost here. The DHB would not admit to that. Big mess up there.
Not for the Town Centre, that is for sure.
I know, it is to gaze at the splendor of a concrete pad and to watch the reefer ships [2 a week at present] arrive and to unload [correction unload part of their cargo] and then watch the forklifts taking it to identical shaped sheds. While, more and more lorries trundle up Snargate street adding to the pollution, and making it even worse to reach the town.
DHB and it's pappy Community Director, what a spokes person!! Took our money for the People's Port, led us down a merry path. Now, changed sides and tells us, indeed, threatens us, to tow the line and do what the Dover Harbour Board dictates. Otherwise we will have jobs taken away from us. Are we peasants with no minds or understanding?
Dover Harbour Board have a huge challenge, because they did not give the correct facts or specifiations. They thought no-one would question this huge dredging operation, right on our door-step.
Well they have, and the Dover Harbour Board is not being opaque about this matter.
