The post you are reporting:
Keith, perhaps you should read my last line: "What exactly an MP has to do with local regeneration that concerns Local Government..."
Maybe you can explain where the MP decides on local regeneration, and where local Government does.
The example of the core strategy is clear: only DDC could make the core strategy, as an elected district council authority, Charlie opposed it, became MP, and did nothing to change the core strategy, because he CAN DO NOTHING about it.
It's not in his authority to do anything about it.
Perhaps as an individual, yes, in particular being resident within Dover District, but not on account of his being MP.
Whatever local regeneration could mean, be it through the building of infrastructure, such as a tunnel for Port traffic under Townwall Avenue or Street, or the creation of jobs in factories, or training courses to enter employment or whatever.... these things have to do with the local population and their elected LOCAL Government!
And also with free enterprise.
NOT the MP!
