Parish Centre Report to PCC 3rd March, 2014
Estimates had been obtained for two child-sized lavatories to be installed to replace the existing two in the rear of the centre. This is in the sum of £564 plus VAT. Baby Ducks are applying to Brighton & Hove for the funding for one. The parish to fund the other.
An estimate has been obtained for new flooring for all lavatories in the Centre in the sum of £375 plus VAT; this will make the areas more hygienic.
An estimate for sanding, preparation and lacquering of the floor in the Committee Room. As this room is now hired out to various organizations, the floor looks very shabby.
The main roof requires new felt on the edges on both sides, an estimate for £680 has been received for this work. It is quite urgent as water is by passing the guttering an dripping down the walls
It is recommended that the PCC authorize acceptance of these estimates.
The Janitorial room has been moved to the old print room to allow for a changing room to be created for the Baby Ducks. The passage to the back room has been closed off to prevent anyone entering the area when the pre-school is open.
Keys to the side gate are to be made available to those who need to get to the back room without disturbing the preschool.
The rents for preschool and other hirers are to be raised but an investigation into the fuel prices and the status of our fixed tariff is to be carried out to calculate the increases.
