Issue details

5 Fielding Road serves as supported housing, providing a safe, secure and affordable place to call home for those with additional care or support needs. 22 Exhibition Close is a Children’s Services base. The Council, as landlord, has a statutory obligation to comply with all legislative requirements for building maintenance. Urgent internal refurbishment works are required to ensure that these buildings are in good condition, safe and meet the needs of the users. To raise the habitable standard to a comfortable and inviting place that feels like home, the Property and Facilities Management (FM) team propose to procure a contract for refurbishment works through the South East Consortium (SEC) Internal and External Works Framework. The proposed building maintenance will help to optimise the asset life cycles.
