13 May 2013 19:01229187at least some good news. - 14 May 2013 01:54229216Dover has 62% youth unemployment.
The highest in Britain, together with Thanet.
Higher than anywhere in Europe. The highest in the world.
My proposals for local regeneration from Port revenues for the Community were turned down by the clueless Government.
Instead of creating employment from a constant influx of Port revenues, invested in agriculture and industry, all we got was unemployment.
Instead of being the first, we are the last, but the struggle will go on, I will never give up.

For now, we have 62% youth unemployment! Well DONE!

14 May 2013 09:2422924198% of the youth at aycliffe are holding a job,may be two jobs.so I think those figures of alex's have been inflated a little. - 14 May 2013 12:17229255Not unexpectedly Bob Goldfield announces his retirement from 31st May. Tim Waggott will replace him. I'm sure that he will have a comfortable retirement. Tim is to be congratulated on his new role and I'm sure that we will be speaking together over the coming months as matters continue to develop over the long term future of the port.
- 14 May 2013 17:31229286Should be no surprise Bob announced many times 2013 was his retirement date.
Tim W appointed as Acting CEO. Bob around until September dealing with projects.

14 May 2013 21:45229318Well well
hopefully will be some updated news on the port soonALL POSTS ARE MY OWN PERSONAL VIEWS - 15 May 2013 00:14229330Howard, the youth unemployment figures in Dover are not a topic among the local authorities.
But I have my information.
People between 16 and 24 of British origin signing on would not fit in with the recent Council elections, would they?
All we do is give jobs away to all and sundry thanks to the local factory and warehouse employers, and benefits for all children are laid on lavishly!
Never mind the 60% British youth unemployment in Dover.
We have a spineless Government, and I never shied away in my representations to the DfT in telling them that the jobs go mainly to non-British people here in Dover, and that we need an income from the Port for LOCAL regeneration for OUR people and NOT others!
Unlike the authorities here!Chanters, Drums and Drones Potty Time http://youtu.be/99fMqpjnXYA
