Issue - meetings

To consider a report of the Director of Culture, Communities and Business Services giving an update on the proceedings of the 2018 Annual Forum.

The Board considered the report of the Director of Culture, Communities and Business Services (Item 13 in the Minute Book) detailing the proceedings of the Annual Forum held on 26 March 2018.

Members noted the considerably low public attendance at the Annual Forum which had only been attended by six individuals. Discussion was held regarding the financial and time/resource implications of arranging such an event and how the Forum may no longer necessarily be the most suitable way to liaise with River users.

It was agreed that the objectives of the Forum would be outlined in a report to a future River Hamble Harbour Management Committee meeting for further consideration and to establish whether the current Forum arrangement was meeting its aims. 

RESOLVED:

That the River Hamble Harbour Board notes the report and requests that the River Hamble Harbour Management Committee considers options for the structure of future Annual Forum events.
