The Executive Director for Organisational Development and Corporate Services submitted a report which requested project approval for improvements to the Barton Neighbourhood Centre.

Councillor Dee Sinclair, Board Member for Culture and Communities; presented the report.

The Board noted the risks and benefits, and options available, to change the use of those parts of the centre designated for the pharmacy and GP surgery should these not move into the centre.

The City Executive Board resolved to:

1.    Grant project approval for the scheme as outlined in the report.

2.    Delegate authority to the Executive Director for Organisational Development and Corporate Service to proceed with these works within current budget allocations.
