Waiting for news of the new harbour commssioners.

After a series of interviews, the names of eight new harbour commissioners are soon to be announced. A total of 26 applications were received from which 16 were shortlisted. These eight new commissioners will sit alongside three DoT appointees and one of the new board's first jobs will be to oversee the introduction of the pending Harbour Revision Order that will bring Newlyn into line with the DoT's 'Good Governance' guidelines. With all government departments and offices in a state of purdah prior to the general election it seems that dissolution of the current board will not happen until at least May 7th.


In the meantime, no clues as to the identity of any new members have come to light - though this pick-up has been spotted in a certain parking space in front of the harbour offices.
