Decision details
Creating a Better Place – Spindles PCSA Extension for Market, Events and Archive
Decision Maker: Leader of the Council and Portfolio Holder for Reform and Regeneration
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
On 25th July Cabinet gave approval to split
workstreams for the Spindles Redevelopment into Project 1
(demolition of TJ Hughes, construction of a new market and events
space and works to the roof) and Project 2 (redevelopment of
internal retail units to create workspace).
An element of redesign is required to include the archive space
within the basement of the proposed event space, and the Stage 5
design also needs to be progressed prior to contract award to
ensure that the programme is maintained.
Decision:
RESOLVED - That:
Option 1 is recommended to allow the programme to progress in line
with current agreed programme dates.
Reasons for the decision:
Option 1 – progress as set out within
this report and uplift the value of Enabling Works 1 to enable
Willmott Dixon to maintain programme.
Option 2 – Place the works on hold until Main Works contracts
are in place for both the Market and Events and Workspace –
likely impact of 3-6 months on the programme.
Alternative options considered:
Option 2.
