That the O&S Services committee agree this report and the associated action plan 2.

The four-year old Seafront Strategy still remains an appropriate economic framework within which seafront regeneration activities in Hastings can be both delivered and measured. However, we recognise that an action plan is required to address the most recent developments, opportunities, legislation and sustainability issues that the Council faces now and in the foreseeable future. $xyrm0fl4 Page 1 of 57 Review Team Membership 1. Cllr Peter Chowney was appointed to chair the Scrutiny Review of Maintaining and Protecting Seafront / Delivery of the Seafront Strategy and the first formal meeting of the group was 1st October 2007. 2.

  • The Fourth Edition of Folkestone Triennial, One of the UK's Most
    ‘Folkstone Triennial, double edge’, Press Release, 31 August 2017 ​ ​ The fourth edition of Folkestone Triennial, one of the UK’s most ambitious art exhibitions, will open on Saturday 2 September and run until 5 November 2017. Internationally recognised artists have been commissioned to create 19 new site-specific artworks to be exhibited in Folkestone’s public spaces under the title double edge. Some of the works will remain in the town to add to its expanding art collection, ​ ​ Folkestone Artworks. double edge refers to the two main axes around which Folkestone’s development as a town has taken ​ place historically and geographically: the seashore and the Pent Stream, an ancient watercourse flowing from the North Downs into the sea, dividing East and West Folkestone. double edge makes use of the ​ ​ specifics of the locality to explore universal ‘edge’ issues, including borders and frontiers; margins and the periphery; thresholds, gateways and the liminal. It will also further develop the inquiry into ‘sense of place’ that guided Folkestone Triennial 2014, Lookout. ​ ​ Lewis Biggs, curator of Folkestone Triennial, said: "We are delighted to have commissioned 19 new ​ site-specific works for Folkestone as part of the 2017 Triennial, titled double edge, the other part being an amazing programme of events. It has been a pleasure to see how these imaginative artists extend their practice to create work outdoors, engaging with the history and fabric of the town, to explore the universal issues that are always their concern. We hope that the artworks will excite and inspire a wide variety of audiences over the next nine weeks and in some cases for many years to come." ​ New works commissioned for Folkestone Triennial 2017 are as follows: Rigo 23 will present Through the Glassworks; Earth’s Oldest Satellite.

  • Hastings Borough Council – Property Portfolio
    Appendix 1 Renewal of Minor Works Maintenance Contract Cabinet 12th July 2010 Hastings Borough Council – Property Portfolio Background 1. The Council owns, operates and lets out a considerable amount of property assets and associated grounds and external areas with a rebuilding cost value exceeding £88 million. The Council's property assets are very diverse and widely spread across the Borough, they are of widely differing sizes and building types, some of which are very aged, and which reflect the materials and methods of construction prevailing at the time they were built. Almost none has been newly constructed and very little of it has been built in recent years or refurbished to current standards. Consequently there is a continual requirement for planned, cyclical and responsive building maintenance works. 2. The pressure on the Council’s built assets to be adapted and upgraded to meet the demands of a rapidly developing organisation is constant, and often requires rapid access to a flexible multi-trade building maintenance contractor. Offices & Operational Buildings 3. Major operational buildings within which the Council’s staff perform their duties and provide services to the public include: Town Hall & Tourism Information Centre Aquila House Renaissance House 6 Bank Buildings Bulverhythe Depot Offices Cemetery & Crematorium Corporate Archive, Castleham Industrial Estate Cultural & Leisure Buildings 4. The main cultural and leisure buildings and assets either operated directly or by third parties on behalf of the Council include: Hastings Castle The White Rock Theatre St Mary in the Castle Arts Centre Summerfields Sports Centre Falaise Hall Fitness Centre C:\Hastings\Data\Committ\IntranetOLD\Cabinet\20100712\Agenda\$k4qx4gxs.doc John’s Place Museum Old Town Museum Fishermen’s Museum Falaise Road Indoor Bowls Centre St Clements Caves Marina Pavilion (Azur) Parks & Open Spaces 5.
