28/11/2022 - To fully approve capital amounting to £75k funded by external donors. ref: 1811 Approved
This project will create a new
learning/community/event hire space at the rear of the first floor
gallery in the Victoria Art Gallery. This multi-use space requires
a relatively low level of capital intervention to achieve but will
have a significant positive impact on the operations of the
Victoria Art Gallery. The project will allow us to widen the
audience that this significant community asset reaches as well as
cementing appeal for existing audiences and enhancing its
commercial potential.

Decision published: 30/11/2022
Effective from: 08/12/2022
Decision:
(1) To proceed with the shortlist of interventions set out in paragraph 3.8 of the single member decision report now taking them forward to preliminary design and engagement.
(2) To note that the proposed shortlist is based on work done with communities to first identify their needs and then to co-design potential solutions to address those needs, as summarised in Appendix A of the report.
(3) To note that the proposed shortlist was next subject to technical review, both in terms of alignment with the Liveable Neighbourhoods Strategy and other factors such as cost, practicalities and timelines, as summarised in Appendix B of the report.
(4) To note that the proposed shortlist was then referenced back to the applications put forward by ward councillors in Spring 2021 to ensure that the package of interventions satisfied the aims of the original proposal.
(5) To note the opportunity to “fast track” shortlisted interventions where they are non-contentious or already well supported, and either statutory consultation is not required due to the nature of the proposed intervention, or implementation could proceed as a trial under an experimental Traffic Regulation Order (ETRO) or be implemented under a 21-Day Notice (see also section 4).
(6) To note that the ability to proceed is subject to funding being available for the design, engagement, consultation and implementation work required as a result of this decision.
