The post you are reporting:
I see from the local paper that DDC, in their infinite wisdom, have put another £25,000 of our money to ensure that 'development and privatisation of the Port of Dover does not scupper plans for town regeneration (sic) or hit promises for a shareholding community trust'.
Apparently £25,000 was already agreed in February and the council has already spent £45,111 on legal advice.
Whilst the community trust and share-dividend arrangements are indeed part of the opening gambits in the DHB application, does anyone really believe, that with what Board Members describe (off the record) as the inevitable privatisation of the Harbour Board, HMG will be minded to give one penny piece to the good burghers of Dover?
As for scuppering any plans for regeneration, the denizens of Fort Whitfield seem quite capable of doing this themselves, if past performance means anything, without any outside assistance.
