Decision details
Watney Market: Approval to install Sprinklers and Emergency Lighting.
Decision Maker: Cabinet
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
Approval is sought through to initiate works
at the Watney Market car park. Currently the sprinkler systems
within the commercial element are beyond their economic life and
can no longer be maintained. As a result, there is no guarantee in
case there is a fire that they will work, and this is considered a
major risk considering the two residential blocks above.
Furthermore, the emergency lighting in the basement carpark is
damaged beyond repair, providing a health and safety issue as well
as encouraging Anti-Social Behaviour.
Decision:
The Exempt Appendix was noted.
DECISION
1. To approve the figure of £2.089m to enable the safety works to be undertaken at Watney Market carpark.
2. To approve the addition of the project to the 2022 – 25 approved HRA capital programme.
