The council has submitted an application for permission for a ramp at The Haven. The council are clear this does not offer a commitment to build the ramp at the Haven now or in the near future. There is no funding available to construct it and as reported the Coastal Communities Grant application, as far as funding a ramp, was not successful. The council are continuing the building process in principle as funding could become available at some time in the future. At this time the council is very clear that they have no funds and no start date to build a ramp.
The users of the Haven (sailing and rowing clubs and Red Seal) have met with the council over the issue of the ramp and will continue to do so. In particular the clubs are keen to deal with issues such as
- The associated infrastructure to ensure the ramp use is appropriate for all users of the Haven
- Parking at the Haven
- Licensed use of the ramp and enforcement
Members will be kept up to date on this issue. This link shows the Ramp plan schematic
