includes reconfiguration of the facility and creating access
between the WC and adjoining Café to enable controlled
access and use.
RESOLVED - That:
To approve the associated funding of £55,000
from the Corporate Landlord Capital Budget.
This will allow the continued use of the WC
facility, whilst bringing it to current standards,
improving utilisation, security and operational
management.
The fees connected to this proposal are £3.5k,
bringing the total proposal to £58.5k.
Option 1 - Do nothing. This is not
considered
viable as the WC facilities are in a poor state and
requires an upgrade to current standards to
meet the requirements of The Equalities Act
2010 as a minimum. Not progressing with the
works will lead to continued misuse and potential
closure of the WC facility.
