Phil, my representations, starting in Feb 2010 and culminating in the last one of July 2012, include explanations why the Port should not be privatised or put into any kind of financial debt situation.
This was accepted by the Decision Minister, who rejected the DHB bid.
The relevant part of my representations that I know for sure the DfT is dealing with is in relation to a constant Port revenue to finance Dover and District in terms of local regeneration.
So I made some viable examples of how this could come about, presenting figures on port traffic and possible incomes for the Town and District based on these Port-traffic figures.
The minimum annual income which I pointed out would be £14 million a year committed to financing Dover and District, although it can be more.
This minimum sum is by far better than anything put forward in the offers made by DHB and DPPT .
It's clearly in the better interests of Dover.
If anyone is interested in considering backing my proposals, including Phil, and wishes to know more, please email me, and I'll discretely explain what my proposal to DfT consists of.
