Dredging 'own goal' by Dr Hoskin (From Falmouth Packet)

• "Dear Christopher Smith, founder of CSA, previous director of CSA and current consultant for CSA Architects.
  ‘CSA were commissioned by A&P Falmouth, the operating company of Falmouth Docks to design a new cruise terminal reception building, as part of the major planning application, including the creation of an enlarged quay and dredging of the channel’; an excerpt from CSA Architects website.
  It appears that those who protest loudest about the absolute need for dredging have the biggest invested financial interests. Or are you a different Christopher Smith?
  Are you also the ‘RIBA Chris Smith’ that is represented on the Falmouth Town Forum, which at their latest meeting of 9th May noted ‘Work on the Docks Masterplan had been affected by a recent controversial talk on the dredging proposals at the Poly. This, it was felt, had simply reinforced positions rather than clarified them and had led to a flood of campaigning emails.’ Or am I confusing you with someone else? That flood of campaigning emails must be a real worry for CSA, but nothing a few ‘catchy one-liners’ in the Falmouth Packet can’t sort out I’m sure.
  Own Goal? Dr. Miles Hoskin is upfront and clear about his position- an educated local scientist with a concern for the environment; a man who will gain no financial benefit from his views on dredging.
  There is a very informative e-petition on the Cornwall Council website you may like to look at. It is a little difficult to navigate the Cornwall Council website, but the petition has been so popular that if you Google ‘Falmouth Masterplan’ it is now the first document that you will read. Much easier!"
