Roger, you will find that DPPT have never been object of the Public Consultation.
They participated in it. nothing more.
Everything the "People's Port" have suggested by way of Community regeneration is simply nothing.
"The proposal from Dover Harbour Board included the establishment of a community trust should the transfer scheme be implemented. As the Minister rejected the transfer scheme, this means that ALL the features associated with the transfer scheme, including the community trust, will not proceed either".
It is time that the MP Charlie Elphicke and DPPT showed a letter from the Department for Transport, dated post 21st December 2012, stating that their proposals have been accepted.
However, this would contradict the above statement in reference to Community regeneration.
That what DPPT offered on local regeneration was more or less identical to DHB's offer, copied almost to the letter, and had it been accepted, the Decision Minister would have accepted the DHB offer, not that of DPPT.
