Issue - meetings

Officers were asked whether the financial costs for relocation were robust.

Members were advised that there had been several changes since the

beginning of the project including a change in building regulations. In addition,

considering a specific site or a series of sites would have enabled officers to

consider a cost base. The report was transparent and officers’

recommendation was that the PLACE building should not be relocated at this

time, but come forward as a second phase in the future.

Members were advised that refurbishment and safety control fire measures

would be undertaken to the PLACE building. These works would be on the

outside of the building and could be completed with residents in situ.

Members were advised of the costings of the upgrade works.

There were no decisions identified for further discussion.

RESOLVED that decisions taken by the Mayor and Cabinet in closed session, be noted.

The meeting closed at 9.05pm
