This follows on from the 2017/18 and 2018/19
Schools Roofing Programme, issues that have become a priority since
the original programme was established. This phase of the programme
will cover the same building elements as the initial programmes
replacing or repair roofs that have become a persistent target for
patch repairs. The work is identified through the annual building
surveys and a review of any data that has been collected through
call outs or emergency repairs , as well as comments from
regulatory inspections (OFSTED and Safeguarding). By delivering the
programme DMBC will ensure the school buildings remain open and
ensure pupil places are not at risk due to condition issues within
the premises. The work will also ensure that work to electrical and
mechanical infrastructure as well as the general fabric of the
building is protected.
The original consultation undertaken was:
The CYPS Capital Monitoring Group has been consulted regarding this
proposal. This group includes officers representing service areas
with responsibility for various CYPS capital assets, Technical
Services and Corporate Services and Corporate Resources.
Schools Forum has been consulted. Further updates will be provided
as the programme progresses.
Individual schools will be consulted on the proposed programme of
works before the final programme is agreed. This will ensure that
no urgent items are missed. It is also intended that there will be
sufficient flexibility within the programme to incorporate missed
or unknown issues that arise during the programme.
Drawing the funding is sought to allow the delivery of these
projects.
Following Cabinet approval on 12th February
2019 and full Council approval on 4th March of £241,785
funding for the School Roofing Programme, which will ensure schools
are warm, weather tight, safe and not at risk of closure at short
notice, approve the draw down of these funds for the delivery of
the 20219/20 programme.
Alternative Options Considered and
Rejected
Not to approve the draw down of the funding and not deliver the new
programmes.
