Docks rating group points it out

Their solution, in part, rests on reverting to the previous rating level until 2010, when the next review is planned.

The Humber Docks and Mersey Dock Rating Groups are urging the Government to accept their proposal and undo the mistakes that have already been made, which are causing unbearable financial pressure to port-based businesses.

UK HM Opposition Leader, David Cameron also recently announced that he is backing the campaign to address the financial crisis at UK ports, which was caused originally by failures in the Government’s Valuation Office Agency (VOA), and which has left hundreds of businesses at the UK’s 55 statutory ports facing insolvency.
