Agenda item

There was one item of urgent business regarding Golden Lane refurbishment project.

• Delegation of Decision Making: Members were asked to delegate decision-making responsibility to the Town Clerk in consultation with the Chairman and Deputy Chairman for the initial stages of the Golden Lane refurbishment project. This involves progressing the gateway one and two reports, which establish the project on the system, set the budget, and allow for scoping and design work. It was confirmed that the budget for the refurbishment is already in place, and the works can commence to enable the refurbishment. The scoping includes considerations for the climate action strategy, particularly focusing on remediating the boilers, which are a significant sustainability issue. Additionally, there was a mention of an interest in the City Gen extension, which will be considered as part of the project.

RESOLVED – That Members, agree to delegate authority to the Town Clerk, in consultation with the Chairman and Deputy Chairman, to approve a Gateway 1 and 2 report in relation to the refurbishment of the Golden Lane leisure Centre.
