Roman Baths Shop Refit – Phase 1

Decision Maker: Chief Finance Officer (S151)

Decision status: Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

The last shop re-fit at the Roman Baths was in 2010. The shop requires investment to continue deliver the annual sales target. Increasing the available selling bays will deliver increased sales.

Decision:

To fully approve capital amounting to £50k from the provisional capital programme item Refurb of Roman Baths Shop of £150k.

Alternative options considered:

Option 1 - Do nothing: This option was rejected. This project delivers additional revenue, through increased selling bays, to do nothing is not in the interests of the Council.
Option 2 - A full refit: This option was rejected. A phased approach is recommended. A full refit could not be delivered until 2024/5 and one year of additional revenue would be missed. The phased approach has been designed to ensure phase 1 will be compatible with future phases and not obsolete.
