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 Enabling Works contract was entered into relating to Project 1,
referred to as Enabling Works 1 (EW1), to the value of
£760,330.42
As part of the initial Site Investigation coal seams were
discovered beneath the existing TJ Hughes building footprint
therefore a variation is proposed.
