Report HPR2023/064

As part of the Operational Property Review programme Castlecombe Youth Centre was scheduled for repair. The report requested approval to progress the repair scheme through proceeding to procurement.

Additionally, Castlecombe Youth Centre building had been identified as a suitable location for the Mottingham Community Support Centre and therefore the refurbishment of the site needed to be undertaken so that it met this wider service need.

The report had been scrutinised by the Renewal, Recreation and Housing PDS Committee at its meeting on 15 November 2023 and the Children, Education and Families PDS Committee at its meeting on 22 November 2023.  Both committees had supported the recommendations.
