A new board could be appointed this year.
The
Harbour Revision Order document, which authorises the board to appoint
an advisory group, has been drafted to bring the harbour commission
into line with the government's guidelines for good governance.
The 2000 Guide to Good Governance states that all trust port boards
should contain an appropriate balance of skills to control the port
effectively and provide it with leadership, motivation and strategic
direction.
The document will now go through a 42-day consultation period.
A
copy is available for inspection from the harbour office in Newlyn on
01736 362523 or the Department of Transport on 0207 944 8300.
Andrew
Munson, harbourmaster and clerk to the commissioners, said the harbour
commissioners have been negotiating with the Department of Transport
for several years and are pleased the draft Harbour Revision Order
document has now been approved.
