The Board received a report from the Director of Culture, Communities and

Business Services summarising incidents and events in the Harbour and covering issues currently under consideration by the Marine Director.

An addendum was distributed at the meeting which outlined those events which had occurred since the publication of the papers. Collision events and the maintenance work conducted on the CCTV cameras was highlighted. It was noted that CCTV was used to take action on speeding.

The Board also heard that the Harbour Master had met with the Chairman of Hamble Parish Council to discuss the issues regarding the availability of showers. It was noted that the showers were subject to a sub-lease from Hamble Life Boat to Hamble Parish Council and liability for meterage, security and maintenance was discussed. The Board agreed that Hamble Life Boat & Hamble Parish Council had a moral obligation to make these facilities available as originally intended.

The Board also heard of work being undertaken on the RAF Yacht Club to safeguard the structural integrity and details of the new Harbour Management self service system introduced for commercial and leisure purposes.

RESOLVED: That the River Hamble Harbour Board supports the contents of the report.
