Exeter City Council has finally published an Exeter Port And Harbour business plan after repeated requests from river and estuary users to see the document, which was apparently prepared three years ago.
Despite purporting to cover the three years from 2025-26 onwards the plan only includes a summary budget for 2024-25.
When an Exeter Harbour Board member asked whether the council intended to remedy this by adding forecast future budgets to the plan, a council officer said that the 2024-25 budget would “probably be the total budget over the next three years”.
They added that there was “some work to be done around budget arrangements” and that “any income changes” would “need to be considered”.
