The Rugby Club requests Council approval to upgrade the female changing/shower area in the Pavilion/Clubhouse. With the growth of the women's rugby team, now 25-30 members, there is a need to improve their facilities. The preferred option for this is expanding one of the changing rooms by knocking through the wall into an unused officials room on the women's corridor side. The proposal has been inspected by a structural engineer and building contractor and confirmed that the wall to be knocked through is not load bearing.
This would allow sufficient space for the Women's team to be able to change in the same changing room and allow further space there.
To add, this is similar to the work that was done on the Men's corridor a few years ago.
Extract from Lease: Section 26 Alterations - 26.3 The Tenant shall not make any internal, non-structural alteration to the Property without the consent of the Landlord, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld save that the Tenant may redesignate the use of rooms and spaces within the Pavilion subject to obtaining the prior written consent of the landlord which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Craig (Buildings Manager), has met with the Rugby Club and cannot see any issues with the proposals. They have been made aware of building regulations.
Do Members support and and give consent to the above work as a redesignation of the rooms and spaces within the Pavilion?
Following full Council meeting (July), and the Council's decision not to proceed with any maintenance work immediately, but to engage a surveyor to provide a report on the Hall, three quotes have now been received (funding was approved from the Maintenance Reserves). One has been appointed, the survey of the building and a planned maintenance schedule to show what repairs are required to rectify the damp issues and a forward plan for the coming years, will be presented to full Council (September) to consider. In the meantime, the Groundstaff are cutting back the hedges, and create a runoff from the gutters, to allow the brickwork the opportunity to dry out. Several building contractors have also been approached to quote for work relating to the repointing, roof repairs and addressing damp plaster inside so that decisions can hopefully be made in September.
