Dover Gets Green Light for Major Investment

Dover Harbour Board has agreed to move forward on the first substantial phase of works to transform the Port of Dover through its Dover Western Docks Revival project. In what is a major part of the
biggest single investment that will have ever been made by the Board in Dover and its port, tenders are being invited for construction companies to get involved in the project. Tim Waggott, Chief Executive, Port of Dover, said:

 “The decision represents a further investment of up to £120 million in Dover and the employment prospects of current and future generations of local people over the next few years. The message today is that we are 100% for Dover, we are putting our money where our mouth is and we very much hope that this will give others the confidence to do the same. “The studies have been done and the conversations have been had with our customers, with our community and with our staff.”
