Agenda item

Report of the Strategic Director of Regeneration and Environment Services

Recommendations:-

1.           That approval be given to undertake the demolition and remediation works as described in this report to enable the Forge Island leisure development, funded by the allocated Town Centre Investment Fund.

Consideration was given to the report which sought authority to undertake required demolition works to Riverside Precinct, 8-18 Corporation Street and the pedestrian footbridge, alongside other remediation works, to enable the Forge Island leisure development.

These works would aid the Town Centre Masterplan in improving the vitality and viability of the town centre as part of the redevelopment of Forge Island and act as a catalyst for the regeneration and repurposing of Rotherham town centre.

More recently the Council had finally completed purchase on the Primark building which would further develop and enhance the High Street. 

Resolved:-   That the works to undertake the demolition and remediation works as described in this report to enable the Forge Island leisure development, funded by the allocated Town Centre Investment Fund be approved.
