The post you are reporting:
It seems pretty well obvious to me that by transferring 200 million pounds of national Treasury deficit onto Dover Port, it would be a disastrous turn for the Port, and an unlikely context either for an 85 million pound renovation at Eastern Docks, or for a T2 at Western Docks, let alone an income for Dover, and even less for Dover and Deal and the whole district together.
That's all Charlie's p/p plan has achieved, to deviate the inital opposition to the DHB plan to two deficit-like plans, and then trying to explain that it wil be either one or the other.
Once the Port were to be used either to repay the costs of a private purchase as in the DHB plan, or the debits as in Charlie's plan, it is clear that profits going to the local area would be very limited, in particular because there are outstanding questiuons that involve huge sums of money: the pension fund, T2. renovations at Eastern Docks...).
To alter the existing DHB charter without incuring in any private take-over or in any debt scheme would leave the Port with much more profits to divide between Port and Town - and also District.
