  The p/port,sorry but it will never come about.
  
  Going back to last night nights meeting apart from the Chairman of D.H.B. and Bob Goldfield the presentations were at their very best poor.
  
  I also went on to tell the DHB,"Well done in doing more U-Turns than the Goverment."I also aske them if they think like I do that the Growth of the port could turn downwards as we are going to see less HGV on our road,with the new rail fright service about to happen,and the new P/Tax and fuel cost going up.And the DHB. members want out with making a few bob for themself out of it.
  
  They did not agree with this pointing out that the Growth of the Port points to a upward turn. I still do not agree that is true.
  
  I also went on to aske the Port of Dover Community Trust(PDCT) could have been set up years ago ,they did not disgree or agree over over this one they did not give a stright answer.
  
  As I see it nothing was said that could not be done within a updated Royal Charter that way the port would stay a royal port which could not be sold overseas or to anyone.As the DHB said them selfs last night most of the development over the last 50years has been done with their own funding within the port,I can not see why that can not still be the case,there is no rush at this time to see it all done overnight.
  
  The DHB went on to say that the port does not make any money out of the Marina.I "The port might not make money out of it. I said" But the town does because the boat owners use the shops etc in the town so we need to see a bigger Marina than the one we got".
  
  The meeting was still going on when I left, but I had a council meeting at 1930, so I do not know what was said after I went. thank you for reading this post,I know some of you will not agree in what I said or the way I think.
