Issue - meetings

This report provides an update on the priority works and outlines the works proposed to be undertaken in 2016.

The Committee received a report detailing the up-to-date position on priority works, and was asked to authorise the carrying out of urgent health and safety works to windows at both Sparrow Farm and Castlemaine Lodge and electrical testing in Nonsuch Mansion and the Tractor shed.  The Committee agreed that it was important to ensure the work was completed before the cold winter months. 

The pathway from Sparrow Farm Lodge was also discussed as Members had concerns that it could become icy and slippery in the winter.  The Committee was advised that it was scheduled to be repaired/renovated in the next financial year but in the meantime alternative funding would be investigated and reported back at the next meeting.

Accordingly, the Committee agreed to authorise the following urgent health and safety works as follows:

·                 Windows at Sparrow Farm Lodge

·                 2 windows at Castlemaine Lodge

·                 5 yearly electrical tests for Nonsuch Mansion and the Tractor shed

It was further agreed that the above works would be funded as follows:

·                 £2,756 from the maintenance budget

·                 £6,394 from the Nonsuch reserve budget
