The post you are reporting:
Keith, if you had followed the thread "good luck Charlie", you would have read that I later wrote my intention to contact the Department for Transport again for further clarification instead of taking a path of legal action regards the local MP.
This I did, and it is my third letter to them since November 2011.
The Department has never informed me, and to date has not informed me, that I am NOT a part of the public consultation, nor that my representation is NOT being taken into account.
This should contradict Neil's claims that I "ignored" a public consultation and am not part of it. Personally I believe Neil should consider this, as we are talking here of an official consultation started by the Government in 2010, and official replies I received confirming my participation.
I am sure the Department for T. would have officially replied to me and informed me that I am no longer participating if Neil's claims were correct, having received three letters from me since Nov. last year on the issue of the Port of Dover.
One member of the pub. consultation cannot tell another "you are no longer part of it", without legal confirmation, which Neil does not have. Therefore, as his claim is not proven officially, I see no need to take legal action against the MP.
The other point of possible legal action which I mentioned, was in the eventuality the Government went ahead with plans for a transport strategy for a future T2 in Western Docks based solely on road traffic, notwithstanding my representation that suggests a rail link to Western Docks based on the carbon emissions law.
Such action would be directed at a such a government decision, it would cost nothing other than postage stamps, be COMPLETELY within democratic law, and would imply contacting an official office designated to deal with a case put forward by one or more members of the public challenging the legality of a government decision.
In this case, my legal challenge would be that the carbon emission laws cannot allow for a future T2 to be built to cater for road traffic only.
Keith, you should realise that democracy allows this, otherwise ours would not be a democratic Country with constitutional laws and rights.
At the moment, the Government have not made any such decision, the consultation process is on-going, I am a member of it unless OFFICIALLY proven not to be.
