Minutes:
The Assistant Director, Regeneration and Culture presented a report on a proposed Family Play and Sports Activity Hub on Pelham Beach. Working in partnership with the Foreshore Trust there has been previously delivered a number of projects and schemes improving the Seafront play experience for children and young people in Hastings and St. Leonards. The proposal seeks to increase the quality of lives of local residents, support the advancement of citizenship and support the Blue Flag award criteria.
To deliver this pilot project, of 70 full days and 20 half day events of play and leisure activity on Pelham beach, through the summer and shoulder season of 2018; it was suggested the budget was split between the Foreshore Trust and Hastings Borough Council.. There is the potential to charge £1 per child for each activity day, and should this income not be surplus, this would be returned to the Foreshore Trust.
Councillor Batsford proposed approval of the report, which was seconded by
Councillor Poole.
RESOLVED (unanimously) that:
1. The trust consider the proposal to extend a Play and Active Hastings service to Pelham Beach.
2. Give delegated authority to the Assistant director, Regeneration and Culture, or her nominee, in consultation with the Chair of the Charity Committee to make use of the old life guard hut at Pelham Place
3. The trust fund a short term pilot ‘Play and Sports Hub’ project for 2018, amounting to £24,900
The reasons for this decision were:
The charity’s objective is to hold and maintain the charity’s land for the common us and enjoyment of all her Majesty’s subjects and of the public for the time being for ever,
Since the RNLI was awarded the lifeguard contract the old life guard hut, situated on Pelham beach has been redundant. This proposal recommends utilising this asset and delivering a robust play and leisure offer, which is accessible to Hastings residents and visitors. The RNLI are agreeable to this proposed new short term usage.
