We have a designated project manager that coordinates a group of officers from the council that have been working in the background to obtain what we feel we know should be a brief and that needs to be developed further. We're working on that at the moment. In terms of a Gantt chart or a programme, we absolutely have a draft programme together.

We can't produce that in full at the moment until we have some further information. In terms of reporting, I think that Gantt chart will be available in the future, so we can see the timelines, but that is very much in its first phase at the moment. We need, obviously, the decisions to be taken on our next steps, and then we'll produce forward from there.

That's correct. We've got an indicative layout which has been produced. It's subject to, is there a reconfiguration of the layout that we could change? Do we want to go to the full scope of work required? The cost of which we haven't produced yet, but we are working very closely with the architects to look at those costs.

But as we work up that model over the coming weeks, we'll be able to produce a detailed cost plan for the delivery of Unit 5.

We're entering into what is potentially a £10 million project. It's enormous. It needs to be run properly. It needs to be run professionally. We're accountable for the whole process of managing a project and we want to deliver it in the right way for the future.

With that comes obviously the due diligence that goes behind and making sure we get the building right and fit for purpose for the future. and appointing the design teams associated with that project to deliver it can be time-consuming as well, but we'll be working really hard subject to this meeting, and tomorrow we'll be working hard to make sure we try and hit those deadlines.

We were looking at schemes, previously temporary venues, what the best options were, the team of officers working around

around the borough to look at what would be the best fit obviously we're trying to get specifications and input from from the public to utilize those spaces as well so we could meet those needs in the background we were working for the area in unit five towards the end of the summer and beyond and that scheme was developed shortly after that period

And as you know, it was one of the options that was thrown into a number of options for consideration. For Unit 5 option, we'll, obviously subject to any approvals at this meeting, we'll be working up the detailed design. We'll be looking for, obviously, to bring that forward for a full brief and go through the procurement exercise for contractors and delivery.

We need to just check with the in-house officers about the reporting lines for when we bring forward the approvals for the spend. and we'll be looking potentially for a contract completion in the early part of next year.
