  Alexander, please read my last post again. The referendum and its wording was NOT called for or decided upon by DTC. DTC were asked to enable the meeting by six members of the electorate, in this case representatives of the Peoples Port. At that meeting, as was their legal right, they presented their case to the electorate of Dover and a vote was taken on holding a referendum on the wording proposed. As ten people (and a very large number of others) voted in favour DTC are legally required to hold the referendum, which is for the electorate of Dover Town and has to be paid for by them.
  
  The views of DTC, for or against, do not come in to it, this is a legal obligation and DTC are meeting it.
  
  That said, the privatisation of the port is an issue of huge local importance and as only DHB's plan is currently being considered by the government it is democratically right that the people should have a say and try to get other options considered.
