onjo's comments encapsulate the state of denial that afflicts the small but determined reactionary element in Newlyn. The Harbour is a Trust Port and it is incumbent on its Trustees to be transparent, open and above board in their dealings with the community they purport to serve. What does go on in the Commissioners Office is of great importance to the community, it is not a cosy private club that can conduct its affairs in secrecy as seems to have been the practice hitherto, the Commissioners have an absolute duty of care to the Harbour users and residents of Newlyn. The success or failure of the Harbour is of vital importance to so many people even those not directly involved and presently it is visibly failing through systematic mismanagement.
John Lambournes stand may seem a little obtuse to the uninformed but it has served to highlight a serious issue that has been, historically, largely ignored by the local media and hidden from Newlyn residents.
Unless or until the Commissioners fall into line with the Department for Transport's well publicised guidelines the situation will continue to deteriorate and the uproar increase.

Why should what goes on in the commissioners office have anything to do with Mr Lambourne, how the harbour is run is the harbours affair after all. Would Mr Lambourne tell us exactly how he has managed the financial side of his work and also what 'other plans' he has for the future, I dont think he would.
This is a case of biting the hand that has 'fed him'.

THEY WOULD WOULD'T THEY?!!! (THE COMMISSIONERS, THAT IS)
