"it was (and remains) owned and operated by Dover Harbour Board (DHB). "
This seems to defy your above post, Neil.
The above letter is in the public domain now, anyway. Only you seem to suggest, in defiance of the DfT's letter, that the people's port offer was not rejected.
But I'm leaving the case at this, having been finally informed by the DfT how things stand, in this letter that came today, and the one that came last week.
The objective of the thread has been achieved, and so I shan't be looking in anymore on this or the other thread on the Port of Dover.
