Minutes:
The Assistant Director, Regeneration and Culture, presented this report on behalf of the Resort Services Manager, which sought approval for the procurement of 12 additional beach chalets at White Rock. She advised the Committee of a typographical error to the report at paragraph 3 which should state “12 of which…” and not 10.
The allocated budget for the cost of supplying and installing the chalets is expected to be £14,000. Rental costs are proposed to be £1,000 + VAT for 12 months. Therefore the majority of the investment should be returned after the first 12 months of operation.
It is proposed to tender the chalets jointly with Hastings Borough Council during December and January so that they will be available for rental from the beginning of April 2017.
Councillor Cartwright proposed approval of the recommendations to the Resort Services Manager’s report, which was seconded by Councillor Forward.
RESOLVED (unanimously) that –
1. Support is given for the provision of 12 beach chalets at White Rock
2. A budget of £14,000 is allocated within the 2016/17 Business Plan contingency and the chalets are jointly procured with Hastings Borough Council, through the East Sussex Procurement Hub
The reason for this decision was:
Hastings Borough Council is currently in the process of procuring additional chalets and beach huts at different locations on the foreshore.
One of the potential sites identified is White Rock, directly east of Hastings Pier on land owned by the Foreshore Trust.
There is an opportunity for the Foreshore Trust to install chalets at this location that would support the ongoing regeneration of this part of the seafront and build on the recent investment made by the trust in the former White Rock Baths and public realm.
The additional income generated would help to cover the costs of extending the Lifeguard Service to cover this increasingly popular part of the beach.
