To consider the head of community services’ report. 

Cabinet considered the head of community services’ report on the need to refurbish a mansard roof at the Park Sport Centre, Wheatley.  Cabinet was asked to approve the appointment of a contractor. 

Cabinet noted that officers had considered only replacing the affected broken roof tiles but discounted this option as it did not reduce the risk of further tiles causing a continuing health and safety risk to the public and water continuing to penetrate the building.  Cabinet supported the officer’s proposal to refurbish the roof.  It was noted that solar panel could not be used on this vertical mansard roof but when other roofing works were undertaken in due course, the use of solar panels would be considered. 

RESOLVED: to authorise the award of a contract to Fergal Contracting to carry out the refurbishment work of the mansard roof at Park Sport Centre, Wheatley at a cost of £126,294.
