LEPs are partnerships between businesses, councils, universities and further education colleges. Kent and Medway are part of the South East Local Enterprise Partnership (SELEP). Due to its scale and a belief in subsidiarity, SELEP has four federated boards. The Kent and Medway Economic Partnership (KMEP) is the local federated boards for our area. Sarah Nurden In August 2017, the Minister for Local Growth wrote to say the Government would review the role and responsibilities of LEPs – as LEPs would be the vehicle to deliver the Local Industrial Strategy. In July 2018, the findings of the review were published at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/strengthened-local- Kent & Medway Business Advisory Board Thursday 13 September, 8.00 – 10.30 am in the Inspiration Suite @ The Village Hotel, Maidstone Light breakfast from 7.30 am Programme enterprise-partnerships A presentation will be given to BAB at the meeting on how the changes proposed (if implemented) will necessitate reform of SELEP and KMEP.

South East Local Enterprise Partnership (SELEP) Strategic Board Meeting (all on Fridays from 10.00am – 12 noon at High House Production Park, Purfleet) • 28th September • 7th December • 22nd March 2019 Notes of the Kent and Medway Business Advisory Board – 5 July 2018 The Business Advisory Board meets bi-monthly and provides an insight from the business community in Kent and Medway on current trading conditions and experience of the local economy. The headline points are presented below and the full meeting note follows. Highlights from Economic Commentary • Staff recruitment and retention continue to be a problem for several sectors in the county, especially in financial and legal services which experience stiff competition from the capital. • Businesses in the retail sector are facing challenging times, but elsewhere there are mixed messages from small businesses. Some report that confidence levels are high although this could soon change unless there is more clarity from government about its Brexit plans. • There has been a marked increase in the number of employment tribunal claims since the recent removal of fees. • The construction sector is under pressure as materials prices rise, and skilled labour is in short supply especially for bricklayers and civil engineers. The industry is concerned that there will be further labour shortages following Brexit. • The short term nature of planning regulations can hinder growth, and local authorities need to press on with completing their local plans. • The impact of vehicle emissions on air quality is becoming a big concern, and although public transport should be seen as a solution the introduction of ultra-low emission zones in major urban areas will impact on those smaller operators with older vehicles. • The current state of the economy suggests that there could be several small interest rate rises over the new 18 months. 1. Welcome and Introductions The Chairman welcomed attendees to the meeting. 2. Review of actions from the last meeting (10 May 2018) • Apologies were received from Nick Fenton, so the actions regarding a) the planning process and b) ‘Delivering Design Quality in Kent and Medway’ were rolled forward to the next meeting. • The Kent and Medway business summit with MPs will be postponed from 20 July to a new date, to be confirmed. Further details will be circulated once the new date is known. • The housing growth figures shared at the ‘Planning for Future Water Resources’ workshop have been sent to Kent County Council’s officers as requested. 3. Economic Commentary Sarah Nurden (KMEP) – Businesses and other interested parties are welcome to bid for some Local Growth Funding (LGF). Projects ought to drive forward economic growth. The amount of money available is at least £8.3m. This amount will rise if the existing LGF projects experience 1 project delays, preventing their business case coming forward for approval. Full information is available at: http://kmep.org.uk/news/info-page/call-for-expressions-of-interest-capital-grant- opportunity. Sarah also asked BAB members for their permission to provide anonymised feedback from the BAB meetings to KMEP, which was granted. Andy Davies (Handelsbanken) – The bank continues to grow, with recruitment ongoing. The bank’s construction industry customers report that they are extremely busy, especially in east Kent, with much work in the pipeline. Bernard Spring (Chair of NKEZ) – The North Kent Enterprise Zone comprises three sites. The Maidstone site includes the Kent Medical Campus, which is progressing well with Cygnet (Mental Health) Hospital almost complete and open to patients by end of September 2018. There is planning consent for a 30,000sq ft Innovation Centre, and plans for a step-down facility at the site, for which NKEZ is looking for an operator. The second site is the Innovation Park Medway. Rochester Airport has resubmitted its planning application, which (if successful) will enable an innovation park to be built on half of the site. The third site is in Ebbsfleet. It is confirmed a modular housing factory will be erected there. Discussions are ongoing as to which part of the land will fall within the NKEZ zone. Keith McAlister (Thomson Snell & Passmore LLP) – Another significant year of growth in business services, and commercial property is also very busy. Furthermore, the company is seeing much movement in franchise sector (particularly food and drink franchises). Staff recruitment and retention continue to be a problem, particularly bright young talent being attracted to work in London. James Beatton (Cripps LLP) – The company continues to trade well. There are three sections to the business: a) corporate b) real estate and c) private client. The company is ahead of budget for this time of year, which is an unusual occurrence. Clients in the retail sector are continuing to face challenging times. However, anything that is business to consumer service with a high level of discretionary spend is also facing difficulties. As the news recently showed, 27% of estates agents are in ‘financial distress’. In contrast, the technology sector is particularly active now, much of it fuelled by private equity. There has also been a marked increase in the number of tribunal claims since fees were removed, especially in the public sector. Alison Palmer (Federation of Small Businesses) – FSB is reporting that confidence levels are at their highest since the start of the year. However, confidence levels will drop if Brexit plans do not come to fruition. The FSB is also noting that GDPR is creating a barrier to economic growth. Andrew Metcalf (Maxim) – Maxim has experienced two solid months, with encouraging future prospects. Maxim’s clients are reporting a different picture to FSB, with clients expressing low confidence levels due to lack of agreements being made by the MPs on Brexit planning. Maxim is seeing growth in engagements, especially planning work, although the revised NPPF coming out later this month may affect that. The Kent Press & Broadcast Awards are a week away; 147 journalists have entered the categories. Maxim is also sponsoring the 2 Kent Design Awards, alongside KCC and DHA, and BAB members were encouraged to submit entries. Charles Buchanan (Charles Buchanan Associates) – Heathrow’s third runaway is going ahead, subject to detailed considerations. There will be legal challenges although it isn’t clear how they will be heard, which could affect the timing of development. It is notable how long it takes for infrastructure delivery, and it was the 2003 White Paper that said additional airport capacity was required. Regarding skills, Charles Buchanan has become the Chairman of the East Kent College Group (East Kent and Canterbury Colleges).

Outcomes delivered so far: These two Towards 2010 targets (1 and 2) are being reported together as they are so interlinked. Delivery of both of these targets must be seen against the background of the global recession which makes it far more difficult to achieve all of the outcomes we are striving for at the moment. However, much has already been achieved and this is listed below: Published KCC’s Regeneration Framework - KCC's draft Regeneration Framework was published in January and consultation ended in April 2009. It was approved by the Regeneration Board in July and will be adopted in autumn 2009.

  • THE ROMNEY MARSH IRREGULAR the Newsletter of the Romney Marsh Research Trust
    Registered Charity No. 297736 THE ROMNEY MARSH IRREGULAR The Newsletter of the Romney Marsh Research Trust No. 24 October 2004 I should like to begin by thanking all who have made my task easier and enjoyable over the last six years. It has been a real privilege working with you and I hope to see you at future meetings, walks and other events. I was also very fortunate to have Dr Antony Long, and recently Dr Helen Clarke, to work with in their role as chairman. As you will see from the centre pages, Dr Long, soon to be Professor Long, has decided to retire from the Executive committee. He has for many years been a tireless worker on the Trust’s behalf, as well as conducting important research on the Romney Marsh region. He will be sorely missed and on your behalf I should like to thank him for all his hard work, but most of all for his enthusiasm and his desire to get things done for the benefit of the Trust and its members. Dr Jason Kirby has volunteered to take his place on the Executive. Many of you have already met Dr Kirby, he was at the Trust’s conference in 2000, and though he may not be able to attend the AGM in November, he hopes to meet many more of you in the future. His interest in Romney Marsh began in 1994 when he worked as an RA for Dr Andy Plater and since then he has worked on a project with Dr Antony Long and Dr John Evans looking at the depositional history of the Wainway.

  • Kent Design Awards 2009/10 – IHBC Sponsored Conservation Prize Announced
    Kent Design Awards 2009/10 – IHBC sponsored conservation prize announced A Kent family tomb which was lovingly restored after falling into a dire state of disrepair has scooped a top conservation award. The Darnley Mausoleum in Cobham Wood, near Gravesend, which the National Trust says has been wonderfully restored, was named project of the year at the prestigious Kent Design Awards on 16th March 2010. Canterbury architects Purcell Miller Tritton, and PAYE Stonework and Restoration of London, were applauded for their labour of love which brought back to life the Grade 1 listed late 18th century building with its distinctive pyramid roof. Eddie Booth presented the conservation and craftsmanship award on behalf of the Institute to the architects. Lady Bruce-Lockhart, widow of Lord Sandy Bruce-Lockhart, former Leader of Kent County Council and Chairman of English Heritage, presented the first-ever special award in Lord Sandy’s memory for the Darnley project. The panel of judges also paid tribute to the Cobham Ashenbank Management Scheme (CAMS) which began the huge task of restoring the mausoleum, with its associated buildings, and reclaiming the woodland of Cobham Park. The mausoleum took 12 years to repair and was featured on the BBC Restoration programme. It had previously been on English Heritage’s national Buildings at Risk register for more than 15 years, was badly vandalised and in 1980 suffered a major fire. The South East Branch had a study day at Cobham and the Mausoleum in 2007. At that stage the restoration of the Mausoleum was virtually complete but the management arrangements with the National Trust had not been formalised.
