The post you are reporting:
DHB debate about PDCT....hmmm, well attended..well if you call less than a third of the seats laid out in the centre section of the hall occupied at the beginning and at 1900 a large number of DHB employees getting up and leaving even though the meeting was unfinished, then yes, well attended it was. My own view is that given the amount of PR and advertising that DHB did Dover and District wide, they wasted the money.
DPPT is definitely and very much still around, continuing the task of trying to ensure that Dover and the other stakeholders get the best outcome possible.
If DHB are successful, then when the port is re-sold after a few years (and it will be) PDCT will die from lack of funds and no protection, the ferry companies will be ripped off, the Marina berth holders will find their fees escalated exponentially and Dover will continue to suffer with no more come backs. It is absolutely vital therefore that the port ownership and governance is kept fully accountable to the peoples and communities of Dover and the surrounding area, the port users and the other stakeholders, that is what DPPT is all about.
I apologise if I have not actually answered every question that has been posed with regard to DPPT. I was sure that I had, but reading some posts who say that there are many questions unanswered, then perhaps I haven't. Most of the time recently I simply have not had the time to raed all the posts on the forum or keep up to date with the latest conversations, I've been too busy working to try and ensure that the DHB are not successful in privatising the port, but that the port does get the access to the capital requirements that it will need in the future if it is to prosper and help the town to prosper.
