The Dover Harbour Board panel met and discussed 27 “high quality” applications for the advertised position of community director last week.

Shortlisted candidates will be invited for an interview on September 18 or 19 and will be met by the panel – which includes the leader of DDC, Paul Watkins, the deputy Mayor of Dover, Sue Jones, and MP, Charlie Elphicke.

Alongside the locally elected representatives, candidates will also meet with independent chairmen of the Port and Community Forum and the Port Users Group.

They will be joined by members of the board's own nomination committee and the chairman of the South East Local Enterprise Partnership.

Chief executive at the port, Tim Waggott said: “It is very encouraging that we received such a substantial response as we continue the momentum of working together with our community to deliver for Dover.
