The Town Hall Site Redevelopment has reached its next key milestone. Westrock have now completed a contract to deliver the District Heat Network.
Members are asked to note:
• That Kier, and their Heat Network specialists Hopkins, are
now in contract with Westrock to deliver the District Heat
Network.
• The costs of the contract is within the indicated amount
included within the Revised DHN Budget Report agreed at Council in
March 2020, including a healthy contingency
• The next key milestone for the DHN project will be the
appointment of the O&M contractor
• The new Town Hall building continues to progress in line
with both programme and budget, and the first 91 affordable homes
are due for practical completion in Spring 2021.
In February 2017, the Council agreed the
deliverables of the Town Hall Site redevelopment, the budget lines
to achieve this, and the delegated powers to develop and proceed
with the development. This report does not therefore seek any new
decision but provides an update at a key milestone in the
project.
