The post you are reporting:
At the meeting, I met with representatives from Sholden, and we agreed that DDC's development plans at Sholden, Whitfield and on W.H. and Farthingloe, are generally (note the word) not for the benefit of local residents living in the administrative boundaries, but for people who DDC want to attract to Dover District and settle here.
I made known my belief that this is contrary to the statute of a district council, and that it may be possible to find constitutional grounds to protest.
Fortunately we live in a democracy, and freedom of protest to official offices is allowed.
The overwhelming majority of people present at the meeting were completely against the CGI development plans, only one person in favour, and three or four undecided.
The general belief at the meeting was that NO jobs, or very few jobs, would be created through these developments, and that the developers spin off promises of many jobs, promises that never materialise.
Also, CGI are NOT a developer, but have stated they will sell the land to developers if they receive planning permission.
My understanding of this is, they are there to make a quick profit.
