HAMPSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL

Executive Decision Record

1. The decision: (PROPOSED)

a) That progress with the major projects identified in the report to the Buildings, Land and Procurement Panel on 30 June 2009 be noted.

b) That the re-naming of Ashburton Court to Elizabeth II Court North, West and East be confirmed.

c) That further to (b) above, the existing Elizabeth II Court building be now referred to as Elizabeth II Court South.

d) That the new Auditorium be formally named Ashburton Hall in memory of Lord Ashburton.

2. Reason(s) for the decision:

2.1 In 1968, Lord Ashburton was the Lord Lieutenant of Hampshire and High Steward of Winchester and in order to recognise his community dedication, the County Council formally named the buildings on Sussex Street as Ashburton Court. The newly refurbished buildings will in future be named Queen Elizabeth II Court (North, West and East) to help visitors to the Castle Complex with orientation and directions. However to retain the connection to Lord Ashburton it is proposed that the auditorium is named "Ashburton Hall".
