Agenda item

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

The Committee considered a report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services which sought Member approval to submit a supplementary Capital Bid, to be presented to the Resource Allocation Sub Committee and the Court of Common Council, for the proposed replacement of front entrance door sets to all flats on the Barbican Estate.  This would ensure that they met the requirements of the current Building Regulations in relation to fire safety.

In response to a question, it was noted that the final estimate would include Frobisher  Crescent.  Members also noted that, as the works were classified as an improvement in the lease, residents would not have to pay.

RESOLVED, That – the recommendation from officers to submit a supplementary Capital Bid be approved, to enable the replacement of front entrance door sets to all flats on the Barbican Estate with new modern replacements that comply with ‘Approved Document B – Fire Safety of the Building Regulations’.
