Alexander, my post #236 is about ownership of the port in perpetuity, not regeneration.
The Regeneration agenda is a somewhat different, but related, subject which I have gone into some detail on before and has as its initial focus the very place that has suffered most from the success of the port and the extremely poor port-city relationship that has been fostered by the current incumbants in Harbour House. That is not to say that the surrounding area will be excluded from regeneration projects if those projects can demonstrate an appropriate benefit to the largest single, and most deprived, population centre in the District. The DPPT brochure is clear in stating that the initial FOCUS for regeneration will be Dover starting at the waterfront and in the Town Centre, Dover is currently most in need and has, to date, been most neglected. The regeneration of Dover will be of benefit to the entire District and, as the DPPT model would deliver OWNERSHIP in perpetuity to the communities of Dover and the District, there is a great deal of time available to shift the focus of regeneration projects when other areas become more needy than Dover. The benefits of ownership will continue to flow into Dover and the entire District perpetually under the communitisation model, not reduce and fizzle out as it would under the private equity model.
