The post you are reporting:
Gary, I think it fair to inform you that in a p/p port, any issue to be voted on would be subordinate to the trust's constitution: many topics would not be voting issues, but only those which the trust's constitution, or regulations, prescribe.
So if you wanted to have a say in changing these regulations, once the trust were established, and, say, propose that some profits go to Deal, you might find that the issue is not up for discussion.
Once again, read the proposed regulations carefully, or contact Charlie Elphicke by email for an official clarification, if you are taking it so much to heart. To my understanding, Deal will not get any money from the Port if the p/p plan goes through, but only Dover.
Howard has confirmed this, but I see that you still have the idea that it would bring in money to Deal.
If the p/p regulations state Dover, then that means not Deal.
