The report provides an update on progress of works on the 2018/19 priority list, and requests approval for funding additional 2018/19 works.  The report also presents 2019/20’s priority works list for note.

The Committee received a report outlining the agreed priority maintenance works, and an update on the estimated costs as set out in Annex 1.  It was noted that an additional £45,795 against the budget was required to complete the works.

Tony Foxwell (Senior Surveyor) informed the Committee that since the publication of the agenda, the ceiling on the first floor of the Mansion House incurred damage which was estimated to cost in the region of £1,000 to repair.  The Committee approved the additional expenditure.

It was noted that the repair to the old greenhouse wall had not been assessed as a high priority as the area had been made safe and the damaged area fenced off.  However, it was agreed to obtain an estimate for the repairs in order to better assess a timescale for when the works could be carried out.

Having considered the schedule of maintenance works the Committee:

(1)            Noted the progress of the priority works

(2)            Approved funding for the additional spend of £45,795 (plus an estimated £1,000 for ceiling repairs to the Mansion House first floor ceiling) for urgent works during the 2018/19 financial year

(3)            Noted the proposed priority works for 2019/20
