Beach Hut Licence Fee Reminder and Committee Update

Published on 28 February 2026 at 14:24

Beach hut invoices will be issued shortly. The Council has advised that outstanding fees will now be actively followed up and licences may not be renewed where payments remain unpaid.

The Direct Debit Mandate (DDM) option will again be available, allowing fees to be routinely spread over ten monthly payments or if specifically requested, twelve instalments, rather than one lump sum.

If you have outstanding 2025/26 fees and wish to retain your licence, please contact the Council as soon as possible: hbcbeachhuts@havant.gov.uk

 

Hayling Island Beach Hut Association Committee Update

 

HIBHA is not a new organisation and is not being led by a new committee. The Association continues to be run by the same core group of committee members that have represented hutters over the past year, now with two fewer members following recent resignations. Please see more about the committee on:-https://www.hibha.org/about-us Our purpose and objectives remain unchanged.

 

 AGM – 8 March 5pm at Hayling Island Community Centre.

 

We warmly encourage members to attend our AGM, where you can hear updates, ask questions, and help shape the future direction of HIBHA. We are committed to being open, democratic, and member-focused.

Over the last month, the committee has been strengthening how HIBHA operates, including:

· launching a brand new website to improve communication and transparency

· introducing new GDPR policies

· creating a new constitution to support clear and democratic processes

As the previous membership database was deleted, all Beach Hut Licence Holder are asked to re-join HIBHA, even if you were previously a member, to ensure you receive communications and have voting rights. To re-join for free please visit https://www.hibha.org/join-us

HIBHA remains committed to constructive engagement, clear communication, and representing all hutters as we head into the new season. Thank you for your continued support.

Paul Burrows

Acting Chairperson
