Update on progress

Maintaining the premises a priced list of priority items has been presented to the Leadership. Priority 1 items require immediate attention because Health & Safety Legislation is being breached or the requirements of an external body are not being met. As a result our premises insurance is invalidated.

Maintaining the premises Included on the list of Priority 1 items is the work required to make the building watertight in order to prevent further deterioration of the fabric of the building.

Maintaining the premises Timescale for Priority 1 items – an immediate start Budget for the identified work is £60,000 To be funded by reserves Fixed electrical and fire inspections scheduled

The need to upgrade

Storage around site We have drawn up some commonsense principles to prioritise storage around the site. Storage proposals are to be completed by September.

How you can help Thank you to everyone who already does work around the site. We also plan to organise a work party of volunteers to undertake selected items of work around the site.

Planning for the future Developing a programme of cyclical maintenance which includes all the priority 2 & 3 items currently identified. It is estimated that this will cost in the region of £40-50,000 a year.
