Falmouth and the rest of Cornwall are missing out big time.

Other places overseas know how important it is to get cruise ships in and not bringing in people with tenders, and have not only made it easy for people to go shore side but have made sure the people have to go in where all the shops are to get back to the ship, so they sell a lot of things for people to take home.

When my husband worked at the docks they used to dredge day and night and no problem. If any damage was done they would have nothing to discuss now, and we think it is sad a few people can do so much damage to trade by stopping dredging.
