Anti-social Behaviour and Alcohol PSPO
From: Cabinet - Thursday, 24th July, 2025 7.00 pm - July 24, 2025
There is an ongoing issue of antisocial behaviour in the Margate, Broadstairs and Ramsgate areas. The causes are complex. The Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) is recognised by partner agencies as an effective tool for dealing with such behaviour. Council officers gathered and analysed the evidence base for the restrictions proposed in the draft PSPO considered by Cabinet. Cabinet was also asked to conscientiously consider the results of a comprehensive consultation with residents, voluntary groups and statutory consultees including the local chief officer of police; the police and crime commissioner; owners or occupiers of land within the affected area. Having carefully considered the evidence base and the results of consultation Cabinet reviewed each of the proposed restrictions.
Recommendations Approved

From: Cabinet - Thursday, 24th July, 2025 7.00 pm - July 24, 2025
The proposal is to change the primary fuel type for the council vehicles from standard diesel to HVO fuel and approve the potential increase of spend on fuel.
Recommendations Approved
Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme Fund Grant Award
From: Cabinet - Thursday, 24th July, 2025 7.00 pm - July 24, 2025
The Council has set out a priority to achieve Net Zero by 2030. To support the commitment, an application was made to the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme Fund to fund a number of energy-efficient replacements in four of its estate buildings: The Gateway in Cecil Street, The Kent Innovation Centre and Ramsgate, and Hartsdown Your Leisure buildings. The funding application was successful, and the council has received a Grant Award Agreement, which requires the council to match fund the project. Continuing with this project and utilising the allocated funds will ensure the council goes some way in meeting its commitment of reaching Net Zero. Additionally, replacing like-for-like mechanical equipment that is coming to the end of its life will reduce the council's longer-term cost associated with future replacements.
Recommendations Approved
Royal Harbour Car Park - Building Improvements
From: Cabinet - Thursday, 24th July, 2025 7.00 pm - July 24, 2025
The building forming the Royal Harbour Car Park was built in the 1970’s. The original structure was refurbished in 2003. The structure has had no further refurbishment to date, therefore there is a significant maintenance backlog. The exposed location and nature of the structure together with lack of ongoing maintenance has led to the building suffering degradation. The Council is currently leasing the building on a long term lease. The lease provides, amongst other things, for the tenant to keep the property in good and substantial repair. OSP and Cabinet resolved at their meeting on 10th & 19th December 2024, to seek to exercise an option to purchase the car park which arises in 2025, which would have significant long term financial benefits for the Council. The car park forms the initial gateway to visitors to Ramsgate, as the main town centre and seafront car park. The building in its current condition does not reflect the vision for Ramsgate due to its neglected and tired visual unwelcoming appearance.
