Introduction |
1.1 |
Much of the work associated with the Older Persons Reinvestment Strategy is now drawing to a close and this report confirms the overall programme and financial position. |
1.2 |
The Reinvestment Strategy was initiated to direct new investment into the Older Persons' estate, both in terms of undertaking specific works to fit out the buildings to deliver the Director of Social Services' Core Strategy as well as address a number of health and safety issues, and bring the buildings up to contemporary standards. |
1.3 |
The work has so far involved the implementation of major projects at: _ 'Westholme' in Winchester _ Cornerways in Kings Worthy _ Malmesbury Lawn Day Centre in Havant _ Pier House at Lee-on-Solent _ Hot Surfaces across the entire OPH estate _ Green Meadows in Denmead _ Deeside in Basingstoke _ Solent Mead in Lymington and a further phase of work, by way of major refurbishment, will shortly start at Malmesbury Lawn in Havant. |
2.0 |
Completed schemes and progress of work |
2.1 |
Of the above schemes, everything has now been completed with the exception of work at Deeside (estimated to complete on 10 March) and the new Solent Mead Day Centre (estimated completion 31 March). The one scheme remaining for which approval has recently been given, is Malmesbury Lawn. Work will start here in June 2003, with a forecast completion date 12 months later. |
3.0 |
Financial review |
3.1 |
With the programme now finalised, and the overall financial picture clear, there is an uncommitted balance of £458,000. The report on the Corporate Risk Assessment (CRA) for the Built Estate prepared for the Executive Member of Policy and Resources on 16 October 2002 advised of the intention to divert this funding into the highest risk residential properties. As was previously mentioned in earlier papers the CRA revisions will be submitted to the Panel in May. |
3.2 |
It is proposed that a further report be submitted to the Panel at the meeting in May to consider how this funding should be allocated within Social Services premises in line with the review of the CRA risk management strategy. |
Recommendation(s) | |
The Buildings, Land and Contracts Panel advices the Executive Member for Policy and Resources that: | |
1 |
The programme of work completed or programmed for the Older Persons Strategy be approved. |
2. |
A further report be presented to the Panel on20 may 2003 identifying the proposed use of the uncommitted balance of funding which will be linked to the CRA risk management strategy. |
