Issue - meetings

To be advised of progress with key projects.

An update was given. Levelling Up funds for East Cowes had been received and some open days were to be held in December for the public to be able to give feedback on proposals for use of the funding.

A meeting had been held with the Arts Council which had been very promising. The wealth of culture on the island was recognised and the council had been encouraged to be visionary and come up with big ideas. Three priorities would be identified for further consideration with the Arts Council.

The results of the consultation on Newport Harbour Supplementary Planning Document would be considered by Cabinet on 16 December and could include the provision of a conference centre for community use.

The Committee believed it would be useful to have interim steps in place to measure progress with each project so that any delays can be highlighted and actions taken.

RESOLVED:

The next update to include timescales to enable the Committee to effectively monitor progress with schemes.
