Breakfast Briefing
A New Vision for Havant Town Centre
Frank Campbell, Corporate Director, Havant Borough Council
Langstone Hotel, Hayling Island
Tuesday 12th September 2006
Following our
conversation at the above meeting, during which I mentioned my wish to
contribute to Havant and the surrounding area, but that I had to go outside
Hampshire for business advice and assistance, I said that I had a
non-engineering side to me that is worth a great deal to Havant, the region
and elsewhere.
You immediately said that you wished to speak to me, had set up or were
setting up, some Group to do with tourism in Havant and wished me to
contribute. Regrettably, twelve months on, I have heard nothing, though
there have been developments, with more to come, that are of benefit to
tourism in the region.
I am aware that here have been tourism related meetings since we met last
year. They would have been very opportune to discuss the books and other
matters that were in development, rather than publication month and after,
as now.
I would very much like to contribute and to meet as many other people as
possible in the tourism industry in Havant, Hampshire and beyond.
Would you please let me know:
1) The name, title of
the Havant tourism group.
2) The members of that group.
3) The names of those
Havant Councillors involved with the Havant Borough Council Tourism
Portfolio.
4) Your own thoughts on how I might be able to contribute to tourism in
Havant and across the South of England.
5) Suitable contacts outside Havant that would be of mutual benefit.
Although there have
been delays over the past few months, including computer problems, there has
also been progress on several fronts, from my own point of view as well as
those with whom I am involved, included unexpected turns which will enhance
all of our profiles.
I am aware that my non-engineering side is very different. Actually, it has
a unique aspect. That is the whole point and why so many people rate it from
a business point of view. It is a great pity I had to spend longer than I
should have needed to developing, it as well as involving business
organisations and advisers outside Hampshire.
Regards,
Richard King
