Apologies to Vic for omitting him, but in my defence he didn't introduce himself as the UKIP candidate. He merely mentioned his name and then paused for effect. One item of interest announced at the meeting was the proposed £45 million investment within the docks to create more space for truck parking which will ease the egress into them. This will mean for example that trucks will still be access the docks for sailings on P&O and Norfolk Line should Seafrance not be sailing, something not possible at the moment as a build up of trucks quickly fouls up the system and Townwall Street.
The reason given for privatisation was it was the only way to raise the many millions required to to build the projected new Western Docks. A project that I personally believe would propel Dover to become the Port of choice of importers and exporters alike, as believe it or not we have the best road links of all UK ports. Those who raise Operation Stack as a drawback should see access roads to other ports during inclement weather or industrial action.
