APPENDIX A
Proposed revisions to the land hire agreement between IWC and Solo for delivery of
the IW Festival 2017
The land hire fee will be reduced to £13,000 for the 2017 IW Festival provided Solo agree
to provide and fund the activities listed at (a) to (d) below.
The £13,000 fee is the costs associated with elements of delivery of the IW Festival that
must be provided directly by the council namely:
-

Management arrangements relating to the use of Newport Harbour give the specific
legislation in place. (The council will maintain responsibilities in respect of the
management of the river Medina).

-

overview of the traffic management arrangements for the Festival

Agreement that the current bond of £26,000 currently being held by the council to ensure
the reinstatement of the park could also be used by the council to provide those services
at (a) to (d) in the event that Solo failed to undertake these works.
The revised terms to be for one year only, subject to further review after the 2017 event
and would not apply where ticket sales exceed 45,000 (excluding day tickets).
The additional areas Solo would need to take responsibility for managing within its land
use agreement would be as follows:
(a) West bank of the river – riverside park; typically making the sure the area is used
safely and maintaining public order.
(b) Halberry Lane Estate and surrounds – mitigating the impact of the event on the
local residents, especially from inappropriate vehicle use in the estate.
(c) CCTV – on the main roads to/from the site with a feed back into ELT (4 cameras in
previous years)
(d) Additional public conveniences in East Cowes close to the ferry terminal and
bus/taxi pick up points
