agree that in future the wind farm will be known as the Herne Bay
Wind Farm on all council agendas.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;TO CONSIDER&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;mgWordPara&quot;&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;Section1&quot;&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;The Herne Bay Area Member Panel had requested
that the Executive approve the erection of two information boards
along the Herne Bay seafront.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; Members were advised that the
funds received from the Kentish Flats offshore wind farm
development had been fully allocated and so it was unlikely that
funds could be found from other budgets to cover the cost of the
boards estimated to be between &amp;pound;3000 and &amp;pound;4000
depending of size, design and construction. &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;The portfolio holder advised that
the owner of the wind farm might be willing to pay for a board and
suggested that the relevant officer should make suitable
enquiries.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;The Panel had also requested that the Kentish
Flats offshore wind farm be known as the Herne Bay Wind Farm on all
Council agendas.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;
Members were not convinced that the Council could simply rename the
wind farm nor that it would be of any benefit.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;RESOLVED &amp;ndash;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;(a)&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; That,
subject to there being no cost to the Council, approval be given to
the erection of one or two information boards along the Herne Bay
seafront.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;(b)&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; That
the requests of the Herne Bay Area Member Panel for the wind farm
to be known as the Herne Bay Wind Farm on all council agendas be
refused.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;The portfolio holder introduced the report of
the Head of Regeneration and Economic Development that provided
details of a European partnership of councils that aided
development of cultural regeneration projects at a local level and
worked together to share good practice. The partnership was bidding
for Interreg funds to support this work. The project budget total
for Canterbury was &amp;euro;1.798m (&amp;pound;1.384m sterling) with a bid
for the maximum rebate of 50% of this spend.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;The Council&amp;rsquo;s element of the proposed
bid would focus on public realm work around the New Marlowe Theatre
and the Beaney Institute.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; Matching funds would be drawn
from the agreed capital programme together with necessary officer
time to deliver the public realm project to help secure funds from
the European Regional Development Fund.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

There is no available money for this project from that
source.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; The estimated
cost of the information boards is between &amp;pound;3000 - 4000

&lt;div class=&quot;mgWordPara&quot;&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;Section1&quot;&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;The Herne Bay Area Member Panel had requested
that the Executive approve the erection of two information boards
along the Herne Bay seafront.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; Members were advised that the
funds received from the Kentish Flats offshore wind farm
development had been fully allocated and so it was unlikely that
funds could be found from other budgets to cover the cost of the
boards estimated to be between &amp;pound;3000 and &amp;pound;4000
depending of size, design and construction. &lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;The portfolio holder advised that
the owner of the wind farm might be willing to pay for a board and
suggested that the relevant officer should make suitable
enquiries.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;The Panel had also requested that the Kentish
Flats offshore wind farm be known as the Herne Bay Wind Farm on all
Council agendas.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;
Members were not convinced that the Council could simply rename the
wind farm nor that it would be of any benefit.&lt;/p&gt;
