The post you are reporting:
Alexander - I find that posting rather insulting - I have put 12 years of my life into raising the profile of the Western Heights, battling the neglect and vandalism that the defences suffer, doing walks, tours, backbreaking work to enable thousands of people to travel across the country over the years to enjoy our unique heritage. The rest of the committee and volunteers have done/do the same. All for no personal gain and most of us have full time jobs or education to do at the same time.
In the ideal world there will be lots of money available from English Heritage, DDC, lottery, etc that will just be given to us on a plate no questions asked, we can do all the work that is needed and it will be a lovely place. Nature will be nice to us!!
In the real world there is little money, lottery grants takes a huge amount of work and justification for the sort of money that is needed. Currently there is an opportunity not only to get the funding kick start that is needed, but also to fit into bigger project which is hopefully the regeneration of Dover.
Life is one big compromise, you don't get everything just handed to you, there are gives and takes, and you have to make the most of opportunities you have
THE END....
