Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
The purpose of this report is to seek approval
to accept the successful tender and award and enter into a contract
for the demolition of the former St Johns Church, Werneth with
D.Hughes Demolition
RESOLVED - That: The Council appoint D. Hughes
Demolition
Option 1 - appoint D. Hughes Demolition
Option 2 - do not proceed with a contract
award.
Option 3 - The Council could choose to do nothing and not appoint a
demolition contractor at this time. In proceeding with this option,
the Authority would be unable to commence any demolition works and
therefore, would become responsible for the potential increasing
holding costs associated with a derelict / structurally unsafe
property.
An empty building could also attract anti-social behaviour and
increase the risk of vandalism and in doing so cause the building
to become an eyesore blighting the local area.
Other reasons / organisations consulted
Procurement consulted throughout the
process.
