A recorded vote was requested on the following proposals from the Executive Committee on the subject of the Town Hall Hub:
RECOMMENDED that
1) building works on the Town Hall of up to £5.2m, (or reduced amount in the event that for any reason the Town’s Fund Library Business Case does not proceed to fruition) to be funded from Capital Receipts, for the purpose of remodelling the Town Hall in accordance with the Town’s Fund Library business case, be approved; and
2) the capital programme is increased by £5.2m to deliver these works.
