Thanks, Chris, at least you made a very good point there! You've come to the next phase of the topic. To finance the building, we should stroll into the Dover Museum, in the first room to the right before the stair-case is a picture of Saint Mary at the Castle, with a historic explanation, and above this a plaque, on which is explained in writing that king Lucius, first king of Britain, built a chapel next to the Eastern Heights Light-tower, and imposed port-tolls to endow it.
So, as I have been suggesting for some time over the past months, we should have a law for port tolls in British ports. As the British commercial ports, according to the project, should be administered each by the respective local Council (Town or District), this would mean that Dover's Town or District Council would be administering Dover's two Docks and cashing in a port-service toll on each vehicle (except those carrying charity goods). This would be divided out between the various Council treasuries, the County treasury and the National Treasury!
With the Town/District part of the income, the Dover Council could afford to fund many projects, Town and District wide, AND would't need any further Revenue Support Grants from the National Treasury! And we'd be all better off financially! All, here, means the community. And the Treasury in London would also greatly benefit.
