A report to provide the Sub Committee with an update on the planning for NS800. Additional documents:
Minutes: The Head of Regeneration and Culture presented a report updating the Committee on the planning for NS800.
NS800 is still within its planning stages, with the Council having contributed £80k in funding and anticipated to seek other funding from other bodies. At this early stage, officers were only able to present estimated budgetary costs, the only designated finance so far was for the Creative Director role.
The North Shields 800 Anniversary Committee was established in October 2023 with Sir Alan Campbell MP as Chair. Representation on that committee was currently from local groups, organisations and businesses, and was primarily being used to generate ideas and going forward a committee with stronger governance and Councillor membership would be set up. Officers stated that this A copy of the strategic objectives to frame the North Shields 800 programme developed and agreed to by the NS800 Committee was circulated to members.
As the programme firms up, officers confirmed engagement would become more widespread and school engagement had been identified as a priority to ensure their participation.
Officers confirmed to several questions that NS800 was seeking to involve the whole of North Shields and not just the town centre, and to engage all businesses with the NE29 postcode.
A suggestion was made about a transport pass enabling NS800 attendees to travel more cheaply between events in the programme.
A member queried the estimated cost for the Parade of Sail and Blessing of the Fleet, and officers responded that most of the costs would likely be security and logistics related.
A question was asked about the timeframe for grant applications, and officers responded that info on these would be distributed early in the new year.
The Sub-Committee noted the information contained within this Briefing Note. |
