    So why no People's Port vote for the people/taxpayers of Deal, Sandwich and the surrounding villages and areas of 01304 country?

    Loads of people from outside the valleys of Dover, but within the district, rely on the port and the town for employment. Why aren't their voices being heard?

    01304 residents from outside Dover are expected to help stump up for the referendum, aren't we? And why won't the 'result' be binding? What's the point otherwise?

    I presume this also means that Deal resident Charlie Elphicke is not eligible to vote?

    Bit of a shambles, isn't it? By the way, as an expat Dovorian (Deal resident) I am very much in favour of the People's Port idea. Deal and Sandwich money could help fund a successful People's Port vote. However, those towns' residents might be less inclined to throw a few sheckles Dover's way now, should it (whatever it is) prove successful.

    We're not again merely witnessing a cosy cabal at work, surely?

    Cheers all,

    Andy
