A business case has been prepared to use money from within the council’s budget to fund the repairs to the defences, after the damage that occurred in the week of 26/10/15. The issue of other future funding possibilities was raised with the Lead Flood Risk Management officer who provided the following information. Repairs will be started in Feb 2016 on the 1963 defences at the northern end of the Fitties site, that were damaged during the week of 26th October 2015 and in December 2015. A request has been made for funding for this repair to the Environment Agency, with the monies coming from the councils existing budget in the meantime. Andy Smith is managing the team that will carry out the repairs, which will be to return the defences to the condition they were in prior to the damage. Funding opportunities for new flood defence work (as opposed to repairs) are being investigated from the Local Growth Funds of our two regional Local Enterprise Partnerships; the Humber LEP and the Greater Lincolnshire LEP. European Funding is also being investigated however it will be into the New Year before further information on any of these options is known. 5.

Wendy Fisher “establish if there was a mandate for the regularisation of leases”. 76% of valid votes cast voted that the principle terms of the lease should be investigated by the council. There is no mention of consultation with owners in the minutes of the cabinet meeting of January 2013 which agreed to the recommendation of the select committee in section 3.2 as follows “The Council should strengthen specific clauses within the lease; That specific clauses in the lease, which was first granted in 1991, be improved to deal with a number of management issues arising from the review by the select committee. The specific clauses relate to amongst others: the ‘use’ clause during the closed season, the exclusion of a chalet or structure becoming the only or a principal residence, the service charge, retaining the characteristics of the park as a holiday destination and the rent review process. Directorate comment: Agree with the recommendation and this will be subject to a further report to Cabinet following consideration of the options available as to the amendment of the terms and conditions of the lease.
