I can't help but break into a wry smile at the DHB comments. I worked there about 12 years ago to perform an internal audit on certain aspects of the company. If anyone believes that Goldfield was altruistic as far as matters concerning Dover town, then I'm afraid they live in cloud cuckoo land or were beguiled by his undoubted charisma in a public forum.
He did, however, achieve his main goal which was to see off the privatisation objectives, particularly those of Sir Jeffrey (now Lord) Sterling when his P&O empire was at its peak. Once that was achieved and the 'problem' of people's port was resolved (sorry Neil) it was back to normal. They are a largely unaccountable body with a monopoly over the largest Ro-Ro port in Europe.
I don't know if there are specific reasons why TAP is located in its current position. Nor do I understand who the ultimate governing body is in terms of relocating the queues. I do sense that those in the firing line are being bounced from pillar to post and that there is really not very much concern from those who could do something about it. All credit to Sue for banging on but expecting Collor and co to change things is very optimistic.
