Purpose:
The Council undertakes to ensure school
buildings are fit for purpose and provide safe secure environments.
To improve the school estate in line with the Council's
responsibilities and to address the worst condition and health and
safety issues identified through assessment and prioritisation. The
schemes at Whitchurch Primary, Castle Primary and Newbridge have
been identified as high priority through full assessment of
condition surveys carried out at all Council maintained community
schools in 2017.
Decision:
To allocate capital amounting to
£484,000 from the 2018-19 provisional capital programme to
carry out repair and maintenance work at Whitchurch Primary, Castle
Primary and Newbridge Primary Schools.
Alternative options considered:

full assessment of condition surveys. Should the projects not go
ahead school buildings and facilities will continue to deteriorate
with a greater adverse impact on the schools and future repair
costs.
