With greatest respect your a Conservative,and thats your right and one I respect, but it's YOUR party that
1. abandoned embarkation control so there was no check on people leaving the UK.
2. signed the Dublin agreement to allow foreigners to claim asylum in any EU country not just the first safe haven they entered after fleeing their homeland and finally
3. has proposed further cuts in Border Control officers
Although these are 'national and central govt issues' they effect Dover tremendously so are therefore ' local issues of importance' because of Dovers role in border control.
Thee can't have thee cake and eat it lad!
