    Yes you are correct Love Dover Regeneration Ltd (LDR) did buy Dickens Corner - I understand all costs to date including the purchase price were covered by that entity from the endowment received from DTC.
    I too share your concerns over the acquisition of this building and especially the apparent undue haste of the purchase, but have been told in confidence the reasons. I hope that any subsequent purchases more closely match the original stated remit of the organisation.

    Whilst LDR shares personnel in common with DTC (Rix & Burton) it is a legally separate entity.

    I also understand the intention is to transfer all assets etc. asap to a newly formed Charitable Interest Organisation (CIO) once that body is approved by the Charity Commission. It is this body that will fund any renovation &/or conversion of Dickens Corner from funds it has or grants it can obtain.

    I am led to believe that there are proposals to increase the number of officers/trustees to 6 with 3 to be elected by & from DTC & 3 from the business community. We will wait and see what the outcome is...
