Spotlight scrutiny session requested by ward members

Councillor Nick Johnson explained to the committee why he had requested a scrutiny session on the South Dock Marina fees.  The committee heard from representatives of the berth holders association, the cabinet member and the director of leisure. 

The committee agreed  to recommend to the cabinet member:

·  that the council should strengthen its communication with the berth holders by establishing a standing forum to work through all matters relating to the management of the marina, including the equalities assessment of fee increases

·  that a clear and transparent formula for fee increases should be drawn up

·  that the cabinet member reviews the 2019 fee increases to ensure that the correct inflationary measure has been applied
