Decent Homes upgrade works to Avondale Square Estate, Holloway Estate and William Blake Estate

Report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services.

 

Minutes:

The Committee considered a report of the Director of Community and Children's Services on the Decent Homes upgrade works to Avondale Square Estate, Holloway Estate and William Blake Estate. The report advised that 98 properties had been omitted from the programme, due to the additional expense of unforeseen works.  The work in these properties was completed under a separate contract.

 

Members were pleased to note that the contract had come in under budget, despite issues throughout and noted the key areas for improvement and lessons set out in the report.  The Assistant Director advised that, since taking up his post 2 years ago, robust project managers and clerks of works were in post across all contracts.

 

RESOLVED - that the lessons learnt be noted and the project be closed.
