Joint Report of the Head of Property and Regeneration and the Head of Transformation

Decisions:

1.           That delegated authority be granted to the Head of Property and Regeneration to enter into arrangements to provide security to Cymer Afan Comprehensive School in the manner set out at private Appendix 2 to the circulated report.

2.           That delegated authority be granted to the Head of Property and Regeneration to negotiate terms and enter into a contract/ agreement to safely manage asbestos removal and undertake demolition works at Cymer Afan Comprehensive School in accordance with the arrangements detailed at private Appendix 2 to the circulated report.

Reason for Decisions:

To limit the Council’s exposure to the risk of arson and vandalism it would be prudent to appoint a contractor as a matter of urgency so that they can put in place arrangements to secure the school site, employ their own security, carry out further asbestos surveys, disconnect live services and procure sub-contractors to remove the asbestos and demolish all buildings down to finished floor level.

Implementation of Decisions:

The decisions will be implemented after the three day call in period.
