The Board received an update on the M27 motorway bridge drainage run off as set out within the report and noted that the results of ongoing feasibility studies would be available from National Highways in spring 2023. Members noted, once again, their disappointment at the lack of progress in developing a resolution.

It was also confirmed that the Harbour Authority had sought and received ‘lessons learned’ following a recent superyacht fire and subsequent oil spill at Torquay Harbour.

Members suggested inviting a representative of National Highways to a subsequent Committee meeting although it was noted that a representative had already attended a meeting of the Hamble Estuary Partnership and that the Chairman of the Harbour Board had already made direct contact with National Highways. Members noted that the results of National Highways feasibility studies would be available in Spring 2023 and updates would be provided for the Committee.
