I don't think EH could run the Port - they'd close it down for 5 months of the year because they couldn't work out how to successfully market it for all the year.

Certainly we should encourage English heritage however much that frustrates

good luck to clair i was sorry to see her and charlie score cheap party political points on the issue.
the issue of the future of the port is much more important than petty politics.

To politicians nothing is more important than point scoring and having the last word.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

It's fair to say weshould all be looking at the only option on the table at the moment, that being will D.H.B. get there way.
if they do, the peoples port is a dead duck

Now that sounds like a sceptic recipe for absolute unmitigated disaster.
Thankfully Brian, that was just a bad dream...
Never give up...

Alex you clearly don't know Bob goldfield. Your concerns for raising finances for T2 are not required. T2 was not only the reason for goldfield to sell the port, but to begin to break up the company. Myself and my colleagues were tuped out of DHB for this very reason, along with a monopolies commision challenge !! The truth is the port does not need T2 in fact DHB are in the advanced process of extending the older berths, for larger ships in the future, what does that tell you. It is my opinion that the port will be sold and if we don't get the peoples port model we are in serious trouble. In the last 3 years I've seen the mooring party job drop from 25k to a new all time low of 15k. That's under goldfields vision of transferring staff out of DHB to contractors. Forget T2 and start to worry about the future of our towns heritage and our children's futures for good employment and wages. I think the people's port is the only one that can give it to us.

just to say again
the only option on the table at the moment is;
do DHB get the chance to privatise the port or not
if you feel not you should write to the govt opposing the privatisation

Actually we have another option, for the sake of our town, its port and It's people, we could do away with the usual apathy and show some fight to stop the carpet bagger at dhb destroying our futures, and rally behind the option that shows the people of Dover a different choice. One that stops the port being sold on and on and on. Time to wake up Dover

Yes, and the voices of the people united would go a long way, the referendum showed this but we need to keep going, and by the way, I've met ministers and told them, so please don't lecture the informed Keith
