Ilfracombe Harbour Board
The Harbour Board was formed in November 2007 following an assessment of recommendations made in the central Government produced publication, 'Opportunities for Ports in Local Authority ownership: A review of Municipal Ports in England and Wales', and also the findings of the independent review, 'The Future Governance of Ilfracombe Harbour' undertaken by Marine Enforcement Limited, after a period of Consultation with the residents of Ilfracombe.
The recommendations and findings of these pieces of work clearly demonstrated that Governance arrangements required change and that a dedicated Harbour Board should be formed that provided an open, accountable and fit for purpose management structure.
The first Harbour Board has been formed of the following personnel;
Councillor P Yabsley, Chairman
Councillor C Wright, Vice Chairman
Councillor S Sussex
Councillor M Wilkinson
Mr R Down
Mr A Bengey
Mrs H Lindley-Dore
Captain J Joint
To support the Harbour's governance arrangements and involve harbour users and community groups, a Harbour Community Group has been established, called The Ilfracombe Community Harbour Forum.
The group is linked to the Harbour Board within the Board's constitution and provides a mechanism for harbour related issues, proposed projects and other aspects being considered by the Harbour Board to be discussed in a relatively informal setting and form part of the formal consultation mechanism for the Harbour Board.
