........to get your emails and letters to the Secretary of State for Transport to help stop the DHB privatisation scheme from being approved.
http://peoplesport.org.uk/downloads/guidance-for-submissions.pdf
Whether you support the peoples' alternative or would prefer the port to remain a trust port, YOU MUST ACT.
Don't believe the DHB glossy which implies that the sell-off is a done deal - it isn't. Don't be complacent and think that writing to the minister will have no effect - it will if enough of us do it. We have already succeeded in changing government policy on the port through people power, and we can do it again.
Please read the document at the above link and GET TYPING! You can also (not instead) sign the petition at
http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/36088
Thank you.
PS If the privatisation goes through; and if you think the present port management have done nothing for the town - you ain't seen nothin' yet, as the song says.

Sent a 12 page representation, Peter. It went by post with an email back-up.
As I assured Neil some time back on the Forum, there is no mention of DPPT in my submission, so it remained along fair play, focusing only on the DHB proposal.
I did state also that local people in Dover generally are of the opinion that an equity and shareholding conclusion of the Port (DHB proposal) would see the collapse of Dover's maritime industry.

Alex can't be 100% sure that the Secretary of State reads his blog, Brian.

Peter, size 14 font, not the size 8 which DHB used. I had to magnify the screen by 100% to read it. So 12 of my pages would be about 5 pages in DHB font.

Size really doesn't matter, Alex.

would be interesting to hear the views of the harbour board, they have one of their number as a member but have chosen not to comment on this or other related threads.

Hi Howard, I thought DHB's views had been well publicised, they did after all spend rather a significant amount of money on a Glossie Dossie to tell us all that black was really white and that the sky was lime green in colour.

disagree with you neil, received the glossy thing from them at the same time as i received another glossy thing from the blues claiming in effect that charlie was the second coming.
both ended up very quickly in the recycle bin.
on a forum such as this we can then challenge what has been said/written and eventually we get enough information to form an opinion.
i have asked many questions and most of the time either you or peter has answered them, that cannot be said of d.h.b.
