19:4266076It's a YES for me. I know this will be a big change for people in Dover but it is the best way to unlock the true potential of the port. It's the private sector that will have the money to invest in the port for the future.

22:1366128A difficult one this, as I believe that the port needs a change of ownership structure, management structure and much greater involvement from local people (not necessarily their MP or local councillors) but I am opposed to a trade sale

22:3066130I make it a draw at the moment, 6 all.
I only counted the members vote not their relations.

22:4366132I make it 7/4 for the sale if you only count members!

22:5366136So far is is more or less a 50/50 split both on here and on the Ferries Forum, quite an interesting result and I think probably more realisic for the view of the district than Vic's 2000 vs my challenge of finding 100......
Been nice knowing you :)

23:1566140Yes from me.
Our town has a great history but commercially it has to look to the future not the past.

00:0066142nothing from me, I could'nt give a toss, my latest is that they are going to pay the pensioners or any one with a frozen pension off with a lump sum. true or not I don't know yet but a meeting is due this week I think.
I hear BG could well be leaving the board a very rich man, taking money from 3 seperate pots.
Only grape vine talk so don't hold me to any of this. sources in the past have been VERY accurate. ( wait and see what bobby spouts ) In the end HE wins, goes and lives a long way from Dover and lives happily ever after.
Bang goes my pension up the swanny.

well pissed off.

08:1966153I agree the structure/charter needs to change so the whole area gets some of the financial benefits.
