I have tried to maintain an equai-distance between the sale of the Port and my own personal feelings.This was because like Ian i have had a professional involvement with D.H.B.However i have recently heard some disturbing news,my pension is tied into the D.H.B. fund and i was informed that Dover Harbour Board had recentlywritten to the Government to say all Pension fund stake holders agreed with the projected sale of the Port.I challanged this and said i did not agree and what right had they to write on my behalf.I was then informed that the Pension scheme is so structured that the only way it can remain solvent is if the Port moves into the private sector.I am beside myself with anger over this,they have taken my investment for the future and gambled it on the product of their own greed.A postscript to this is Dr Goldfield with drew is pension from the scheme months ago,citing a conflict of interest or was that a plan coming to fruition.

I would suggest you seek independent financial advice about how the scheme is constructed (you should have or you can ask the trustees to provide details of this) and whether you can and if it is the right thing to port your pension pot to another provider
