    Your last paragraph is wrong, Howard. Only voters in the Dover constituency and DDC area are eligible to be shareholders, plus people who own or work in a business paying business rates to DDC. Shares cannot be sold. If a holder dies his/her share is cancelled. Nobody can own more than one share. Shares confer voting rights only and no entitlement to dividend.

    The only people who can vary the trust deed are the shareholders, i.e. People of Dover. Therefore the only people who will in the future be able to sell it off abroad will be the people of Dover.

    These are the safeguards which have been put in place to ensure the port stays in local hands in perpetuity.
