Youth Service Provision Working Party Report
From: Cabinet - Thursday, 26th June, 2025 7.00 pm - June 26, 2025
On 24 April 2025 Cabinet was presented with the findings of the Youth Service Provision Review Working Party which looked into youth provision in Thanet and how Thanet District Council could support such provisions in the district, taking into consideration the functions a district council could provide. This scrutiny review led to some findings and proposals being put forward for Cabinet consideration and response as well as senior management comments. Cabinet agrees with the importance of engaging and supporting young people.

Port of Ramsgate - Future Delivery Project
From: Cabinet - Thursday, 26th June, 2025 7.00 pm - June 26, 2025
A report was presented to Cabinet to update on the Port of Ramsgate Future Delivery Project which focuses upon the long term sustainability of the Port of Ramsgate. This includes the concession operator procurement process which started in August 2024 and was formally abandoned in January 2025. The report recommended that previously approved plans to implement a concession port operator model, supported by a grant from Pathfinder funding, be formally ended. The report set out that this proposal did not change the overarching objectives for the port, which include ending the revenue deficit position and delivering a sustainable solution for the port in the long term. The report also recommended that further options be developed to deliver a sustainable long term solution for the port, with those options being brought back to Cabinet in the autumn of 2025. The report also described the rationale for reallocating £7.6m of Ramsgate Pathfinder funding away from the Port Future Delivery Project due to the deadline for spending that funding. That recommendation is the subject of a separate report to Cabinet.
Recommendations Approved
