Ivel Valley Quadrant Accommodation Plan

Meeting: 22/03/2018 - CORPORATE RESOURCES OVERVIEW & SCRUTINY COMMITTEE (Item 81)

Quadrant Accommodation Plan

 

To receive a verbal progress update on development of the Quadrant Accommodation Plan, including the work that has been carried out since the last update as well as placing in context of the work currently being undertaken to define priority activity in each quadrant.  This will be in advance of the plan itself scheduled for 31 May 2018 and before Executive in June.

Minutes:

The Assistant Director Assets gave a verbal updated on the Quadrant Accommodation Plan that formed part of the Asset Management Strategy.  The plan would provide accommodation and allow staff to work in a smart, agile way.  Comments received through a staff accommodation survey would inform the Draft Accommodation Plan and a report would be submitted to the next meeting for Members’ comments before it was considered by the Executive.

 

A budget of £2m had been allocated to spend on the Built Asset Improvement Programme (BAIP) to maintain and improve the Council’s estate.

 

In response to a query on what detail would be featured in the report, the Director for Community Services advised the strategic themes will detail planned changes and timescales, but could not anticipate the outcome of any public consultations on the service provision that may impact building use.

 

Once plans have been agreed, every effort would be made to engage with partners to allow community use of premises. 

 

The Committee was happy and reassured by the direction of the Quadrant Accommodation Plan and the strategic overview of built assets.

 

NOTED the update.
