(Report of the Director of Urban Environment – To be introduced by the Cabinet Member for Enforcement and Safer Communities):To inform Cabinet of the proposals to relocate the Coroner to new accommodation and to approve these works for admission to the Council’s Capital Programme.

We noted that a new Coroner’s Court and accommodation was required to release the present site in Hornsey for redevelopment and that the building leased for this purpose in Barnet required conversion and repair to provide the new facilities. We also noted that the works were not in the Council’s capital programme and approval was required to place works in the programme where the cost exceeds £100,000. It was proposed that following our approval of the costs for the works the award of contract would be made by the Director of Urban Environment under delegated powers.

RESOLVED:

That the proposals to relocate the Coroner to accommodation in Barnet be noted and approval be granted to the inclusion of the associated costs to the capital programme.
