New compound startstransport regeneration
 A 
new boat compoundhas recently openedin Bridlington.
Set between the private boatclub and the Royal YorkshireYacht Club’s site at Wilsthorpe,the new facility is the first partof the Bridlington IntegratedTransport Plan.The compound canaccommodate more than 200small boats, jet skis and othersailing craft.It is a self-contained andsecure site, with its own launchramp, office and launch controlfacilities, with security fencing,floodlighting and a CCTV system.Completion of the compoundis a major step towards enablingthe construction of the park andride element of the BridlingtonIntegrated Transport Plan whichis now due for completion inSpring 2010.Councillor Stephen Parnaby,OBE, leader of East Riding ofYorkshire Council, said: “Thenew facility is a real boost toBridlington and the surroundingarea.“The move to the new locationwill allow work to moveforward on other constructionprojects associated with thetransport plan.“The transport plan isan important part of theregeneration programme torevitalise Bridlington and bring greater opportunity andprosperity to the town.“As a result of the plan, theresort will benefit from betteraccess routes which will helpresolve some long-standingtraffic congestion problems.”Other elements of the plan,which has attracted £5.7m offunding from the Departmentfor Transport, are also movingforward and the main highwayimprovement works will mostly be undertaken from now toMarch 2010, outside the peakholiday season, to reduce anydisruption.
GOOD financial managementover the last year has ensuredthat the council remains in asound position for the future,despite the banking crisis andturbulence on the internationalmoney markets resulting ineconomic recession across many parts of the world.Last month, the council cabinetendorsed a report on the ‘treasury management’function, whichcovers management of cashflows, banking, money marketand capital market transactions,together with the effective controlof risks associated with theseactivities.The council has met its mainobligations for investment andborrowing, including an above-target 4.7% rate of return oninvestments, and has not neededto use temporary borrowing arrangements to finance any cash flow deficits. Treasury management has also protectedthe council from market-relatedrisks through the proactivemonitoring of interest rates,economic opinions, and UK andoverseas government finances.The council was not affectedby the widely publicised collapseof various Icelandic banks as ithad no investments with them.
