    Paul, a pro-DHB sale decision would not be challenged on the grounds of not liking the decision.
    From the beginning of 2010 to now, the law has changed with regards to communities.
    Many people do not know the small-writing in the changed laws with regards to community participation in local decisions.

    One thing is for sure, DHB do not have a majority of support among the people of Dover, and we still have not had a referendum on YES to Port privatisation or NO to port privatisation.

    This is first and foremost a question of democratic will, I would suggest even similar to the CGI proposals.
    Authority cannot just make decisions against the will of the Community and impose their own decision, in particular where Public Consultation comes into it.

    I know that it's possible to get hundreds of signatures in a couple of hours on a topic which is of interest and concern to the local people. And there are some petitions on Port privatisation dating back to 2010.
    However, a referendum would be necessary if the DfT should decide to go ahead with DHB privatisation.

    And it can be either Yes or NO, with NO other party involved in the questions put over to the people.
    If the answer is NO to the DHB bid, it cannot be presented again!

    And I will take this one all the way down the road.
