Mr Wiggins sir. Thank you for that but fact is he still there in a advisory group.
Sorry but I did not agree with the DHB (There you are ,you have heard me say I am not always on their side.
)
I do not think they have pick yourself in the way I see it ,it was only done to keep a few members of the public happy like Mr Garstin head of a very small group with a very few paid up members.As the old saying goes better to have a person like yourself who does not agree with your set up in the window looking out ,then outside looking in,that way that person will not say any thing against what you are doing and it works every time .I do not think the D.H.B. need you or anyone .They know by just reading the forum and talking to groups already up and running that are in Dover what and how they can help the Town and district,indeed sir that is just what they are doing now talking to the councils and groups like the Port Community group who have members from the public of Dover talking about the best way that the port can help in the way of funding that the D.H.B give out. They do not have to do that or give out any funding but they are trying to show and act in a way that the public of Dover can see they do care about both the town and district that they work within.For years you have done nothing but run down what the D.H.B done and the way they work, yet they have been giving out funding for groups in Dover for many years they just did not shout about it.You only have to read what their own boss is saying in the local papers and the way they are are giving out funding ,that they do care ,so what we need to do is get behind them with support not keep biting the hand that feeds you.I could go on and on about this but no point there are just a few that will always be against the D.H.B. because they did not get what they wanted ,and that was the port taken out of the hands of the DHB and handed over to their own group,and sir that was never never going to happen it would have been a very bad move and port would have gone backwards not forward as we see it today. And there would have not been the funding they said there would have been because of paying back that very big loan ,and loan is a loan and it would have had to be paid back.I hope they do not go ahead and call you sir because they do not need to add to the already good set up they have.
Just to add I have nothing to do with the DHB I only know what I see and read with my own eyes I not even a cllr or member of any support group in Dover this is just my own views and my views only .
We only read about it so much on this forum because we get so few posts now that this is one of the very few that there is a feedback but a gain there are only a few that give feedback when there are many 1000s of the public that say nothing.
