The Strategic Director (Operations and Commercial) presented the report on the Essential Repairs at Dover Town Hall.
Members were advised that Dover Town Hall was a substantial DDC-owned asset which was not currently being used to its full potential and that the condition of the building was progressively deteriorating. The Cabinet had in November 2015 agreed to allocate funds to support the development of a bid for funding support from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF).
The provision of £400,000 identified in the current Medium-Term Financial Plan was to be used to carry out additional essential repairs required to ensure that the condition and fabric of the structure was stabilized which would mitigate the risk of the existing condition of the building being further compromised before the proposed HLF grant funded Capital Works commenced in October 2021.
Members welcomed the proposals to maintain an important heritage asset.
RESOLVED: That Cabinet Decision CAB166 be endorsed as follows:
(a) That the essential repairs required to Dover Town Hall be proceeded with by using the £400,000 allocated in the Medium-Term Financial Plan.
(b) That the Strategic Director (Operations and Commercial) be authorised, in consultation with the Portfolio Holder for Environment and Commercial Services, to take the necessary actions including, but not limited to, the awarding of contracts, to deliver the works set out in the report.
