  • Investment in Kent Top of Summit Agenda
    Investment in Kent top of summit agenda The future investment in Kent’s roads, rail and skills and how to drive forward the county’s economy, were top of the agenda at a packed meeting chaired by Dover and Deal MP Charlie Elphicke. More than 75 businessmen and women, local council leaders and education providers attended the Kent and Medway Economic Partnership Summit*, the business-led partnership responsible for driving forward the area’s economy, at Maidstone TV Studios on Friday. Charlie was joined on the panel by Ashford MP, Damian Green; North Thanet MP, Sir Roger Gale; South Thanet, MP Craig Mackinlay; and Medway MP, Kelly Tolhurst. The Kent and Medway MPs listened carefully to presentations on the future infrastructure that is vital to unlock economic growth, boost job creation and accelerate housing delivery. Port of Dover chief executive, Tim Waggott, speaking on behalf of the business community and council leaders, highlighted the importance to the UK economy of keeping the traffic moving across the River Thames and along the M20/A20 and M2/A2 arteries of Kent - a gateway county connecting the UK with its largest trading partner. Mr Waggott said the Port of Dover handles 17% of the UK’s trade in goods, and if it were a separate country, it would have the 55th biggest economy in the world. Over 10,000 trucks travel through it every day. Together with Eurotunnel, the cross-Channel corridor handles a staggering £220 billion of UK trade in goods. Over half of the HGVs coming from the Port and the Eurotunnel terminal travel to the Midlands and the North of England, often using the M2 and Dartford Tunnel.

    Site ref: IP132 Former St Peter’s Warehouse, 4 Bridge Street Site area: 0.18ha Allocation Policy SP2 Use(s) Indicative capacity Primary Residential 73 (high end of high density range expected) Secondary Offices (B1a) Subject to layout of site - assume commercial uses on 2 lower floors Leisure / Retail (small scale) * see Core Strategy policy DM22 for minimum and average densities. Adopted Plan 2017 As above Current use Temporary car park. Development constraints / issues The site contains the grade II listed No. 4 College Street and lies within an area of archaeological importance and the Central Conservation Area. It is located adjacent to the Wet Dock Conservation Area and close to, and within the setting of, the grade II* listed Church of St Peter and the scheduled monument of Wolsey’s Gate. The site lies in an area of archaeological importance (IPS 413), on the Anglo-Saxon and medieval waterfront of Ipswich. This site potentially represents that last surviving section of ‘early’ waterfront. There is high potential for archaeological remains of possible national significance, such as important waterlogged remains and the potential remains of bridges dating from at least the 10th century. Detailed early pre-application discussion with Suffolk County Council Archaeological Service and Historic England would be required to agree the scope of required assessment, the principle of development and to inform design (e.g. to allow for preservation in-situ of deposits or appropriate programmes of work). Where development is accepted in principle, archaeological remains will be complex and important and mitigation could involve significant costs and timescales.

I should first apologise for having moved the venue for this cruise to the Solent. Having promised a cruise in Zeeland, which would have been a new experience for the Corinthians, I found the risk of exposing skippers to significant fines from the customs authorities, particularly in Belgium, unacceptable. The “red diesel” argument rumbles on with no sign that it will be satisfactorily resolved any time soon. If you were in any doubt, the reason for the name, Solent Jubilee, is to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of the Accession of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

    Southampton | 1 Southampton ABP Port of Southampton has been voted the ‘UK’s number one departure port’ by Cruise Critic UK Editors’ Picks Awards for seven consecutive years. Year-on-year Southampton welcomes some of the world’s largest and newest cruise ships.

It is Southampton’s strategic location on the UK’s south coast, excellent transport infrastructure and over 3,000 hotel beds in the city and surrounding area that ensures Southampton remains the premier venue for cruise lines to showcase their vessels to the UK and European markets.
