Issue - meetings

That the Capital Programme Committee:

(1)      Note the content of the report on the new Milltimber school at the last meeting of this Committee and the progress being made towards completion of the school next year. This will mean the decant from the current school will leave it vacant and surplus to operational requirements, which means decisions on demolition and future use need to be made;

(2)      Instruct the Chief Officer - Corporate Landlord to prepare a strategic outline case for the demolition of the existing building and to present that to Council as part of the 2022/23 budget setting process, with a view to the school being demolished once the school decants; and

(3)      Instruct the Chief Officer - Corporate Landlord to prepare an options appraisal on potential future uses for the site, including residential family living, care village, housing for over 55's, and to present this to the City Growth and Resources Committee 21 June 2022. Noting that until this is completed there will be a suspension of marketing for the current school site.
