Issue - meetings

Consideration has been given to the proposed demolition of the former Bowls Pavilion, Birtley Welfare Park, Birtley.

The alternative option to that being recommended, but which was discounted, included rebuilding the Pavilion.

RESOLVED -

That the property be demolished and the land incorporated within the surrounding open space within the park.

The above decision has been made for the following reasons:

(A)

To manage the Trust’s assets in line with the objects of the Trust and in line with the Council’s Corporate Asset Strategy and Management Plan.

(B)

To mitigate any potential future costs incurred through further acts of vandalism and realise savings for the Trust.
