To consider a report of the Director of Culture, Communities and Business Services providing an update on the major programmes, projects and issues currently being progressed within the department.
Minutes:
The Panel considered the report of the Director of Culture, Communities and Business Services (Item 6 in the Minute Book) which provided an update on major projects that were being progressed within the department.
Discussion was held regarding electric vehicles and members were pleased to hear of the electric charging point framework arrangement, led and managed by the County Council, which was currently being promoted. It was noted that interest from external public sector organisations continued to be strong.
The Panel also discussed the office accommodation arrangements and heard that utilisation studies had been undertaken across the Winchester office estate. Members heard that once ongoing refurbishment works to EII South had been completed it was intended that the office space would be occupied more intensively to make the most efficient use of the space. Furthermore, Members were supportive of the suggestion to rent existing office facilities to external organisations to generate income.
RESOLVED:
i) That the Buildings, Land and Procurement Panel notes the progress being made on each of the programmes.
ii) That the Project Appraisal for improvement works to Three Minsters
House is supported and recommended to the Executive Member Policy
and Resources for approval at an estimated total cost of up to £975,000
inclusive of fees.
