As you are aware, there was an equipment review within the Beach Patrol service, which identified pieces of equipment that were no longer fit for purpose and required replacing. As a result, new quad bikes were purchased. It should also be noted that a Jet Ski (yet to be replaced) is also obsolete.
Alongside this, at Clacton Leisure Centre, a scissor lift is now in a condition where further works are required to keep it operational, for which it is not seen best value to do so following costings and due to its low use and storage space it consumes. We have, therefore, collated the list of equipment and outsourced an external price for purchase from the two suppliers was received.
As such, and under the disposal of equipment procedure, a concurrence is requested.

To approve the external (Ernest Doe & Sons) purchase of equipment from the Sport and Leisure Service.

The Portfolio Holder for Leisure and Tourism and Portfolio Holder for Environment and Public Space have been consulted and both concur with this decision being made.

Section 36(4) of the Representation of the People Act 1983 provides that all expenditure properly incurred by a Returning Officer in relation to the holding of an election of a councillor shall be paid by that council. This provision is subject to expenditure not exceeding a scale fixed by the council.

The council has previously set a scale and the purpose of this decision is to update that scale so that it does not fetter the Returning Officer's ability to organise the election of District Councillors on 4 May 2023 (and beyond). The same scale shall apply separately to Parish Councillors to be elected.

In accordance with Part 3.8.1 of the Council's Constitution, the determination of the scale has followed consultation with the Chairman of the Council. The Chairman agreed to the proposals to be introduced by this decision.

It is anticipated that the scale set out in this decision can be fully funded in 2023/24 by virtue of budgetary decisions in 2022/23.

Tendring District Council were successfully managing the Clacton150 project funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund in 2020. Celebrations and events have taken place over the past two years and include: the Clacton 150 trail, Octopus Ahoy!, naming of the bays on Clacton's beaches, installation of the Jubilee Beacon, education projects with local schools, and StreetTag. The total value initially awarded was £250,000 and there is an underspend on the project which has afforded additional opportunity.
As you are aware, the Leading Lighthouses situated in Dovercourt Bay is a project which is listed in the Council’s Heritage Strategy and discussions on their potential refurbishment have taken place with Historic England over recent years. Historic England have requested a further piece of work and additional surveys take place, in order to move this important project forward. National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF) have been supportive of this project and have agreed that the under-spend can be used to support this work. As such, it is proposed that the balance of the under-spend will be used to fund an extension of the two funded Clacton150 posts to manage this workstream. These respective Officers will also be in a position to complete the Clacton 150 woodland work, which is reaching its conclusion, together with a full evaluation of the overall project.
No additional funding from the Council is required and the implications of this decision will be funded through the National Lottery Heritage Fund Programme. The total funding remaining is £38,620. The cost of extending the Officer's contracts is £17,620 and the balance of £21,000 will be allocated towards the Leading Lights study and any other associated costs.

To spend the £38,620 balance of the National Lottery Heritage Funding, which was allocated to the Clacton 150 project as follows:
-Extend the two Clacton 150 Programme Officer roles to 30th June 2023 with a revised set of project priorities as set out below:
•Procure, fund and project manage a structural and condition Survey and community consultation on the Dovercourt Leading Lighthouses in Dovercourt Bay;
•Complete the Clacton150 woodland Project;
•Complete the outstanding Clacton150 evaluation process.
