Levelling Up Fund & Folca To receive a verbal update. Minutes: Mr Green provided Members with the following updates:
Levelling up Fund The application submission had been made and it was hoped the Government would advise of their decision towards the end of October.
Folca 1 – The Medical Centre Work had been underway in the background; the design team, who were working for the lead GP practices, were preparing floor plans for the site that would fulfil the needs of a modern medical centre. Once complete the proposals would be brought to the Working Group. Public engagement was paramount as the project progressed and was expected from the developers as part of the project delivery.
Folca 2 – Remainder of the Building (Non-Medical Centre) Refurbishment was thought to be the best approach for this part of the building. Refurbishment could enable future use for leisure, retail, and employment purposes. The Council intended to procure services to undertake technical surveys by the end of the year. These surveys would help to inform the decisions for the future use of this part of the site.
An update on Folca and Folca 2 would be provided at the next working group meeting.
