Report of the Strategic Director of Regeneration and Environment

Cabinet Member:     Councillor Lelliott (in advisory role)

Commissioner:         Kenny

Recommendation:

That approval be given to include in the Council’s approved capital programme 2016/17 the demolition and removal of waste materials at the former Maltby Infant school buildings, at an estimated cost of £116,877 and that these costs are financed from available uncommitted capital receipts.

Consideration was given to a report which sought approval for the Maltby Hall Infant School buildings to be demolished and the waste from the demolition to be removed from the school site.

It was noted that Maltby Hall Infant School was a former Local Education Authority managed Infant School that was closed in the summer of 2013. The School site was registered to the Council with freehold title and remained part of the Children and Young People’s Services (CYPS) estate.

As the buildings on the school site were vacant and had been subject to vandalism, break-ins and arson attacks; which had increased significantly since February 2016. The school buildings had become dilapidated and posed a danger for persons accessing the school site.

As Commissioner Kenny had declared a personal interest in this agenda item, Commissioner Myers agreed:–

(1)  That approval be given to include the demolition and removal of waste materials at the former Maltby Infant school buildings in the Council’s approved capital programme 2016/17 at an estimated cost of £116,877.

(2)  That these costs be financed from available uncommitted capital receipts.
