Agenda item

To receive a report of the Chamberlain.

The Committee received a report of the Chamberlain which informed Members that the Accommodation programme was making good progress.

The Deputy Chairman queried the progress being made regarding plans for the firing range and the Commissioner advised that the matter was under discussion and all options were being considered, such as collaboration within other forces and other suppliers, and possible outcomes could include that the Firearms range would be a bespoke or revenue costed service.

Members remarked that the delivery of Wood Street required a strong team of consultants to ensure that it was developed to ensure the best operational use was achieved whilst remaining with the parameters of the English Heritage Schedule. The Commissioner informed Members that at this stage it was likely that Wood Street would support and house the custody unit.

RESOLVED – That the report be received and its contents noted.
