    No problem there then, Neil.

    I did read this just now from your post 100:
    "Representations that did not address the DHB proposals directly in relation to the criteria may not have delivered the message that the writer intended."

    This may be the case, however my representation did address this particular subject, and on 15 August 2012 the DfT responded by informing me, among other things, that the issues I raised "will be taken into account when the decision is made on the transfer scheme proposed by Dover Harbour Board that would allow it to sell the port".

    Ross, road tunneling varies enormously in cost depending on the type of material being bored through. Tunnels through the Alps cost, per metre, immensely more than a tunnel along Townwall St. would.
    I recall 2 years ago when bringing this topic up on the forum about a tunnel, that David Hannent responded saying he had also considered it, including a cut and close tunnel, which would mean opening the road from the top, excavating the ground to make the tunnel, and then closing it.

    Anyway, the Townwall St. tunnel proposal is mentioned in my rep. to the DfT as indicative of needed local regeneration.
