03/10/2018 - Annie Kenney Statue ref: 3420 Recommendations Approved
To ensure that the statue of Annie Kenney is
installed in 2018 to commemorate the centenary year of the
Representation of the People Act.
The Annie Kenney Memorial Fund Committee is proposing to gift the
Council with the money that has been raised through their public
funding efforts. This to date totals £24k.
The money will be given to the Council without condition.
The Council proposes to use the money to install a statue of Annie
Kenney in Oldham Town Centre, as part of commemorating the
centenary year of the Representation of the People Act.
The Council intends to commission the statue and take ownership and
responsibility of the asset, as part of the public realm within
Oldham Town Centre.
As part of the regeneration of the Old Town Hall, a public square
was built and a plinth was installed at the steps of the Old Town
Hall, where it is proposed that the statue of Annie Kenney will be
homed.
The total cost of the statue is £30,143 and the Annie Kenney
Memorial Fund Committee is continuing fundraising efforts whilst
the commissioning and installation of the statue commences, in
order to ensure that the Council receives the full costs
required.
It is proposed to commission Leander Architectural to produce the
statue, because the design maquette has already been prepared by
this company and approved by the Annie Kenney Memorial Fund
Committee. Therefore, the Council in taking the project forward,
would need to commission the statue from the same company. In light
of this, it is proposed to seek an exemption from the Contract
Procedure Rules under Rules 21.3 (a) and 21.3 (c) so that Leander
Architectural can be commissioned to create the Annie Kenney
statue.
It is also proposed that the Council will support an opening launch
by having some Annie Kenney material on display in our WW1
exhibition that should coincide with the unveiling.
The statue will be placed on the Council’s asset register and
the ongoing maintenance will be funded through the Town Centre
Management budget, like other public art in the town.
