Old Town Mill – External Repairs and Conservation Works

Decision Maker: Joint Strategic Director - Place

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

Decision taken to award a contract for the external repairs and conservation works to Old Town Mill.

Reasons for the decision:

Planned preventative maintenance of a Council owned asset.

Alternative options considered:

1. Reschedule to summer 2024, allow the building to deteriorate further, and incur inflationary costs next financial year. There is a risk that additional bespoke windows would need to be replaced rather than repaired, adding further cost to the project.
2. Do not proceed altogether causing continued deterioration of the building and significant loss in capital value.
