Decision

The Cabinet was minded
to reduce budgets by a total of £37,000
by:-
 

taking forward a wider programme of town centre improvements,
primarily funded through UKSPF with a smaller budget of
£10,000 retained from the Splash of Colour budget to meet
ongoing maintenance costs;
reducing the Town Dressing budget to £3,000 to allow for 1
set of town bunting only per year; and
delivering visitor information through existing staff at St
George's Art Centre. The existing Visitor Information Centre
staffing of 1FTE moved to an office-based role with continued
responsibility for management of Visit Gravesend website and social
media as well as additional proactive work to build partnerships
and better market Gravesham as a visitor destination.
