POLICY & RESOURCES COMMITTEE 10 October 2019

Agenda Item 40(b) Brighton & Hove City Council

WRITTEN QUESTIONS

A period of not more than fifteen minutes shall be allowed at each ordinary meeting for questions submitted by a member of the public.

The question will be answered without discussion. The person who asked the question may ask one relevant supplementary question, which shall be put and answered without discussion. The person to whom a question, or supplementary question, has been put may decline to answer it. 

The following written questions have been received from members of the public.

(1)       King Alfred

After Karis lost their finance to redevelop the King Alfred, the Council had to write off its incurred expenses and put £1m into keeping King Alfred going.  12 years on....well....here we go again!

If Cllrs agree to terminate the existing procurement of the Crest Nicholson/Starr Trust scheme, there is a cost to the Council in abandoning work already done, along with many more years of repair and maintenance of the King Alfred?  Surely Cllrs need to know what the financial cost of their decision is going to be.  Have officers made a ballpark calculation of what that is?
