To agree that the Tor Bay Harbour Authority Operational Moorings & Facilities Policy Version 17 be replaced by the Tor Bay Harbour Authority Operational Moorings & Facilities Policy Version 16 (as circulated) and that the Director of Place to work with the heritage boat owners to agree a new and additional operational protocol for the mooring of Heritage vessels in Brixham Harbour.

The Harbour Committee considered a recommendation which proposed an amendment to the current Operational Moorings Policy.  The Director of Place informed Members that representatives of the Harbour Committee and representative of the Heritage fleet met on 3 June 2021 and agreed that the Operational Moorings Policy would be amended to the previously agreed version.  Members were advised that the Heritage fleet representatives were concerned that the existing Operational Moorings Policy did not adequately meet their unique operating requirements.  The outcome of the meeting was to revert to a previously agreed version of the Operational Moorings Policy and to consider how the Town Pontoon can be used by recognised local heritage vessels.

Resolved:

That the Tor Bay Harbour Authority Operational Moorings and Facilities Policy version 17 be replaced by the Tor Bay Harbour Authority Operational Moorings and Facilities Policy version 16 (as circulated with the Committee reports) and that the Director of Place to work with the heritage boat owners to agree a new and additional operational protocol for the mooring of heritage vessels in Brixham Harbour.
