Just a quick note, which I received as an email from Dover Peoples Port

http://www.peoplesport.org.uk/

Which puts the REAL issue into the public as follows:

With the NT, they were a bit upset with us because of Charlie’s allusion to the White Cliffs being sold when we first launched. The NT maintained that they owned the White Cliffs of Dover and so they could not be sold if the port was sold. It has since transpired that, in fact, the DHB do own quite a chunk of the cliffs stretching as far East as LangdonBay beyond the Eastern Arm. The NT owns the land on top of the cliffs, but not the cliffs themselves. I hope that this issue can be resolved so that we can work together with the NT to fight this sell off proposal.

As the NT has also a petition to purchase the part of the cliffs overlooking the Eastern Docks at Dover, this now puts the question of its ownership into the melting pot, for the above reason.

Thank you all people, if we get all our friends/families/FB friends & NT members to join then we'll get somewhere with this.

It's where the objection ends up that's important, thanks, alba. More power to our efforts ;)

couldn't agree more Nibble. I just hope 'they' take note of the objections.
BTW is there a time limit on the e-petition? Just curious is all :-)

[Nibble]

Looking at the petition closing date is 16/10/2012, so we have lots of time to garner the required millions of signatures to make our voices heard.

good, a few good couple of months for me to get the lazy Scots off their bahookies. The ones with gumption will sign without any nudging :-)

Thank you Nibble.

Done,
It will ruin the view if a Foreign flag flies over the Port.

Dear Mr Ed,

please could you make this a sticky?

I know AB is not political etc etc etc, but this is a part of the UK we're talking about. Thank you.

The Waverly has enough trouble getting up and down the Clyde :-)
